Purchased over 25 years ago from an antique shop in Paris. This is a large, antique enamel pot with a very cute, light green (like young grass) and white checkered pattern. Checkered enamelware is still a popular antique item at Parisian antique flea markets, and it may be an item that sells quickly when it appears. This is a very rare checkered pattern, and you rarely see this type even in France. It seems like it could be put to practical use in various ways depending on your ideas. The condition is as it was when purchased. It appears to have been used in a French home for many years, and there are some dents, but no holes. There are scratches on the bottom. It's enamelware with a very nice feel that you don't find in new items, and it's somewhat heavy. The green checkered pattern is cute, so it seems useful for storing various items, including food. It still has a shine and is really cute when displayed in the kitchen. It's a cute and large antique enamelware that can only be produced by antiques that have been used in France for many years. Also recommended for checkered pattern collectors. Approximate size: Diameter 22cm, height 12.5cm. There are stains, scratches, chips, rust, and other imperfections. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous buyer.
