In excellent condition, lots of signs of age and use from a commercial kitchen, small marks and bumps but no big dents. It sits flat on our gas range, but there might be a very slight wobble on an extremely flat cooking surface such as glass.

Stamped with "G. Conquérant" for the hotel Guillaume le Conquérant (William the Conqueror) in Dives sur Mer, France. The Gaillard mark is unfortunately worn away from years of polishing, but every other piece we have from this hotel has a visible Gaillard mark and identical construction, so we are confident this is a J. Gaillard Paris piece. We have a number of pieces from this hotel that will be listed over the coming weeks, all made by Gaillard.

This heavy, hotel-weight piece weighs 2 pounds 13 ounces, with 1.7-2mm thickness at upper rim (thicker at the base). Measures approximately 4.75” wide across the top, 2.5” deep, and 10” long including handle. less
