The L. Barbellion company in France made copper cooking pots, pans, utensils, etc. Could be a connection.
Hi Congcu, thank you for that i'll check it out. When i tap in Barbellion it keeps coming up with his book details, nothing else. Tried looking for Chocolate shop but not finding anything.
He actually got the non-de-plume when walking around London and he liked the name which was on front of a Chocolate shop frontage.
eBay is listing a L. Barbellion copper pot.
