Ruffoni Historia Hammered Copper Belly Stock Pot with Pineapple Knob, 5 1/2-Qt.

On one of his early trips to Europe, Chuck Williams discovered Ruffoni, a family-owned company in Omegna, Italy, that had been producing extraordinary pans for 45 years. Crafted in the same artisan tradition used for decades, this pot is hammered from a single sheet of copper at the Ruffoni family workshop in the Italian Alps. The tin interior is lined by hand to create a professional-quality cooking surface. This pot is the perfect way to blend beauty and functionality in the kitchen.

• Hand-hammered copper construction guarantees top precision and control, allowing the pot to respond quickly to changes in cooking temperature.
• Interior is lined with durable, nonreactive tin.
• Shape inspired by antique pots that were traditionally used to prepare dried beans and pulses.
• Made in Italy.
