I really like those big pots too, but they're far too expensive. £800 was a quote I got from someone in Cyprus.  |
Copper lined cauldrons and earthenware pithari were being thrown out along with what now are considered to be other highly prized (and priced) collectables in the early 1970's  |
I KNOW THIS!  |
OK, OK! calm down everything will be alright again in a little while 
What type/size of big pot are you after as I know a man who might be able to help  |
It's ok mate, wouldn't want to pay all that money for something that I'm going to leave outside in the open...
Plus I have my eyes on an antique French clock for which been saving up for months and months and months (and months...). Not going to give up till I have that sitting in my house!!! |

"If believing in the human potential is today labelled ‘anthropocentrism’ and ‘speciesism’, then I wholeheartedly plead guilty to subscribing to both of those views.

Thank you for the clarification Kafene. Now I know what we are talking about and why they stole it, copper has shot up in price.
But so much fuss over a copper Dutch Oven! Get a real Pithari instead of the cauldron, will look much better in the garden and no one would steal it. Clay has no scrap value. |

| There must be an international black market for copper. I live in the Boston area, and recently, two men were arrested on charges that they systematically stole copper tubing from unoccupied homes in newly constructed developments. Even more recently, a man managed to electrocute himself to death in the process of stealing copper from an electrical concern. |
