Title: Swiss Made Fondue Pot
Post by: vicnkaren on February 26, 2011, 11:54:16 pm

I have a vintage Swiss made hand-hammered copper fondue pot with a wrought iron stand containing  a copper burner in the center. What might this be worth?

The pot and cover have a hammered all over pattern accented on the rolled over edge with a series of slash marks repeated.

The pot measures 11 1/2" long including the handle.  It's 5 1/4" tall including the lid. The wrought iron stand has a 9 3/4" diameter. When the set is assembled it measures 9 1/2" tall.  Great collectible.  "Alla Monda " is marked on the bottom of the pot.

The pot and the lid have wood handles.

The copper surfaces have not been polished to retain the natural aged appearance of  copper.

This one is not identical, but certainly similar to yours.

You might want to search for this one under chafing dish.  The US tries to classify all chafing dishes under fondue pots due to limited exposure to these items.

If you can determine the actual maker it would benefit you the most.  Nice Piece in the Arts and Crafts style.

Would sell in my area for $45 - $60.
