For the Elite collector! Personally owned name stamped small cooking pot from the John Jacob Astor IV Mansion. “Astor’s Last Supper?” Small size.

For the Top-Tier Titanic collector or museum. This is a small pot from the residential mansion of John Jacob Astor IV, the richest man in the world at the time of his death on Titanic in 1912. Could this pot have possibly cooked “Astor’s Last Supper” at home? It has outstanding provenance as it was found in a steamer trunk marked JJA that belonged to his heir/grandson Ivan Obolensky. The trunk and its contents were long forgotten about and abandoned by the family. 

Weighing 1.2lbs and measuring about 3” high and 4” in circumference with a 5” handle, it is the perfect size for a high-end collector. This pot was manufactured in Wooster Ny and is made of copper with a tin coating. It shows heavy use with dents, dings and scrapes throughout. The outside has boldly stamped “J.J. Astor. 840. 13.,” as was the customary practice in wealthy kitchens of the time. It identifies the owners name, address and pot number to match the lid (not included). The Astor Mansion was located at 840 5th Ave. in New York.

This new discovery somehow escaped notice through history and is now being offered to the public for the first time. The documentation and COA will be custom made for this relic. Serious inquiries only.
