A few weeks ago, I visited Chenonceau, one of the beautiful Châteaux de la Loire. Although it was not a sunny day, I was impressed with the beauty of the place. I took this photo of this copper pot in Chenonceau kitchens.
They certainly keep their kitchen utensils spotless and shining.
More of my Chenonceau photos here.
It sure does keep you from losing your appetite! I’ve seen some that made you wonder…
Great post!
Chenonceau is one of my favorite chateaux and my favorite architectural details are the painted ceilings if I remember correctly. I didn’t see them in your flickr set but I think I do remember correctly.
I started a new flickr group – the art and architecture of death. I hope you’ll join and add to it as you photograph this subject so much in the cemteries.
Here is the url: http://flickr.com/groups/dead/ I’ll try to link it here.
That photo has made me want to go and shine up my one and only copper pot.

I have joined your group, but haven’t had much time to upload anything there yet. I will.
Chenonceau: Your remember quite well. Am still uploading Chenonceau photos. My ceiling ones are not very good.
Really lovely! I love the way copper can shine.
Whatever is cooked in the beautiful brass pot will have to taste great because if such care is given the utensils, can you just imagine the love that goes into the food preparation.
That has to be a new pot, doesn’t it? I cannot imagine that it has been cooked in.
Well, it’s part of the collection of pots and pans at Chenonceau, so I would imagine it was heavily used in the days when the Château was inhabited. Not anymore of course.
That certainly is ONE spotless/shiny pot. But I wouldn’t want to be in charge of keeping it in that condition.
