Notes
Historically, copper pans were lined with tin because copper reacts with acidic foods, and the lining creates a non-reactive cooking surface.
Such pans have aesthetic value beyond their culinary function and are often displayed hanging in kitchens.
Provenance
The Mary Eleanor Hibbert collection.
