Corn Boiler (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historically inspired.
Although this pot is not documented, it was created using only 18th century techniques and design elements. It has a heavy copper body and lid, both of which are tin lined. The pot has a sturdy wired rim and a bail. The lid has a ring, and is deeply domed. Some customers use the lid as a bowl! This pot is such a favorite that we make it in three sizes, and each can nest inside the other. Dated: 18th century style. Materials: copper and tin. 
Large: 5 1/2" dia. x 5 1/4" tall, 8 cup capacity.
Medium: 4 1/2" dia. x 5" tall, 4 cup capacity.
Small: 3" dia. x 3 3/4" tall, 1 1/2 cup capacity.

Porridge Pot (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
These pots were very common in the 17th and 18th centuries, their pleasing shape must be why! Porridge was a mainstay of the Colonial diet, and pots like these would have been common at any hearth! This example is of heavy copper. Both the body and lid are tin lined. The base of the pot is cramped seamed, the rim is rolled. The ears are riveted to the pot, and the bail is hand forged iron. This is a darling little pot. Dated: 18th century. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin and iron. Dimensions: 9" tall x 5 1/2".

Everted Rim Saucepan (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
Braziers would many times immitate designs created by silversmiths and goldsmiths. Such is the case with this lovely sauce pan, which was copied from a silver original. The everted shape (the rim flares out) gives this saucepan elegant, graceful lines. Copper, with brazed seam construction. A riveted socket holds the hand turned ebonized handle. Tin lined. This piece is very attractive, but sturdy enough to withstand a lifetime or more of daily use! Dated: 1702. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin, ebonized wood. Dimensions: 4" base x 5" rim x 4" tall, 3 cup capacity. Other sizes available, please call for price quote.
Everted Rim Sacepan: $193.00

Socketed Pots (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historically inspired.
We used George Washington's set of campaign cookpots as our inspiration! Very little cookware was specifically designed for travel (please see our discussion at "Some Thoughts"). Washington's set is one of the few known examples. Cookware that was taken on the road, for whatever reason, was most likely any pot that could be spared from the hearth at home! The originals were tin, ours are copper. That is the only concession we've made. Ours are cramped seamed, with riveted sockets that accept removable handles. The lids have rings. Both lid and body are tin lined. There are no bails on these pots, as they were intended to be used on a brazier. These pots will nest, but the handles must be stored seperately. This is a beautiful set and the only real 18th century traveling cookpots we are aware of! Dated: 18th century. Origin: American. Materials: copper, tin, various woods as available.
Dimensions: large measures 6" dia. x 7" tall. Medium measures 5" dia. x 6 1/2" tall. Small measures 4 1/2" dia. x 6" tall.
Large: $189.00
Medium: $170.00
Small: $149.00

Riverted Kettles (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
"WOW" pretty much sums it up! Want to impress your neighbors and friends? Cook up a pot of chili to feed the entire neighborhood in this really outstanding kettle! Copied from a 1585 original, kettles like these were in common use throughout Europe and have been found at sites in Eastern North America. It was also common for shipboard use. This "tank" of a kettle is completely indestructable. It is fashioned from sheet copper, the sides and bottom being riveted together with over 170 rivets! It has a heavy copper rim, onto which are riveted hand forged iron ears. It has a heavy iron bail. Beautiful, impressive, and tough as a tank, this kettle will never need to be replaced!
Available in two sizes. Dated: 14th through the mid 17th centuries. Origin: Dutch. Materials: copper, tin, iron. Dimensions: Large: 20" dia. x 17" tall. Medium: 10 1/2" dia. x 8" tall.

Porringer (image currently unavailable)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historically inspired.
Although this is not a documented piece, every element in its design and construction is 18th-century-styled. Porringers like these were extremely popular in England up to the turn of the 18th century. They continued their popularity in America until about 1825. They are a near perfect vessel - just the right size to heat up a midnight snack, feed a baby, drink from the well, etc. Their uses are really endless. A re-enactor we know hangs his from his belt and uses it for drinking, cooking & eating! He suggestes lashing a green stick to the porringer to serve as a handle, giving you a long handle for cooking over the fire. This porringer also makes a very thoughtful gift to new parents - sure to become an heirloom someday! Tin lined. Dated: 18th century. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin. Dimensions: 4 1/2" by 6" by 1 3/8" deep. 1 cup capacity.
Porringer: $88.00
