  • Date of manufacture: 1930 - 1950

Description
The famous saucepan. This time made of gray cloudy enamel and from the period 1930 - 1950. A saucepan is a small, deep pan with a handle in the shape of a stem. A saucepan (often the diminutive is used) is used to boil small quantities, such as sauce, or a little bit of milk. The handle makes it easy to pour the heated liquid. Also, eggs are often cooked in a saucepan.

The grey clouded enamel was really intended as a utility enamel. Unlike the colored enamel, this was enameled only once and was therefore stronger than the other colours. The thicker the enamel layer, the easier it was damaged.

This saucepan is in good vintage condition with some traces of use. However, it is still suitable as such and of course also very nice to decorate a farmhouse kitchen or a kitchen with a 50s look.

Condition
This grey clouded enamel saucepan is in good used vintage condition with normal traces of use and age-related traces of wear. Photos are part of the description.

Enamel is the protective layer of molten glass applied to metal or earthenware objects to protect, insulate or decorate them.

An enamel layer has several useful properties: enamel is very smooth (hygienic), it is very hard, non-flammable and durable, it is very resistant to the effects of chemical substances and to discolouration by UV radiation (high colour fastness). Metal is protected against corrosion by the enamel layer. The enamel layer also becomes decorative by adding coloured oxides.

Metals that can be enamelled include copper, aluminium, stainless and plain steel, cast iron, gold, and silver. Because an enamel layer is less flexible than the metal to which it is applied, it can crack if handled without care and pieces can even come off.

Metal outer surfaces of cooking appliances, pans and the like are traditionally enamelled. Predominantly white enamel is used here. Other colours were also used for the paraffin stove and pans, such as reseda green, dark green, petrol blue, black, red, orange flamed, mint green, cream and grey clouded. However, some of these versions are outdated.

Examples of enamel kitchen items are sand-soap-soda, milk cooker, coffee and teapots, pans, storage containers, lunch boxes, spoon rack, nest bowls, colander, paraffin stove, soap dish, measuring cup, sconce, ewer, kettle, buckets and much more.
