Cleaning a Vintage Copper Pot - Before and After!
Update: this copper pot sold!
Winter afternoons I like to start little projects for Offbeat Avenue. Michelle and I have our specialties, she's the expert in crafts and design, and I'm the fixer upper. I clean, sew, repair vintage items to get them ready for sale. I enjoy taking something that's been in hiding for decades and making it ready for its Offbeat Avenue debut!
Case in point, I have had this gorgeous copper pot for a few months and I didn't want to put it up for sale without giving it the once (or twice, thrice) over.
This heavy duty Stockli Netstal Copper Hammered Pot Casserole Pan was a little rough, so I decided to shine it up.
Well that took some elbow grease as it hadn't been shined up in ages.
The wood handles needed to be cleaned up too as years of gunk got into the pretty scrolled design. I went through so many blackened napkins before you could really see the beauty of the hammered copper.
But once I was finished what a difference! This is the kind of pot you can cook in and you'd be proud to put it on your table to serve (on top of a nice trivet of course!)
Take a gander at the transformation!
