Goldfather Gilder's Copper Size Pot

The Goldfather Gilder's Copper Size Pot is a beautifully hand-crafted tool, steeped in tradition and designed to meet the exacting needs of signwriters and glass gilders. This "Chicago Style" pot, inspired by the techniques taught to Robert Frese, the renowned Goldfather, during his apprenticeship, offers both functionality and elegance for holding your prepared gelatine water size.

Crafted from pure copper, the pot comfortably holds about half a pint of gelatine size, making it perfect for projects both in your studio and on-site. Its ergonomic handle is designed to hang conveniently from your hand, allowing you to work with ease and precision. Each pot is individually hand-crafted to Robert Frese’s specifications and is part of a limited-edition series, packaged in its own numbered cardboard box for authenticity and collectability.

To maintain your pot, wash the inside with mild washing-up liquid before its first use and rinse it with warm water after each session. Over time, the copper will develop a dark patina, a natural process that adds character and does not affect the size or performance of the pot.
