About this Item
A Cape brass two-handled jam boiler, 19th century
Notes
A preserving pan and a jam boiler are very similar in function and are used primarily for making jams and other preserves.
Brass was a common choice for jam boilers, as it was known for its heat conductivity and resistance to rust.
