Some of the first pieces of classic French kitchen equipment that Williams-Sonoma founder Chuck Williams discovered on his travels through France were the beautiful copper pots of Mauviel 1830. He brought them back to stock his cookware shop in the Northern California wine country town of Sonoma. Today, these stunning pieces are part of our curated assortment of European cookware.
In 1830, Ernest Mauviel established his namesake cookware company in Villedieu-les-Poêles in Normandy. The village had a long history of outstanding metal work, from church bells to copper, and the locals were considered experts in the craft.
Today, much of the manufacturing is still done by hand using traditional processes passed down through generations of copper makers.
True to France’s rich culinary history, Mauviel 1830 is used in countless professional kitchens that require quick, even heat conductivity for classic sauces and other French dishes.
