brass pot

Golden-hued cooking container

A brass pot is a cooking or storage vessel made of brass, a yellowish alloy of copper and zinc.

Brass pots conduct heat well and were common in kitchens before modern cookware: She polished the old brass pot until it gleamed.

They now appear more often as decorative items or planters than as functional cookware.
