Atomic Age Enamel on Copper Lidded Dish

A bold and sculptural mid-century enamel on copper lidded dish featuring an exceptional interplay of color and form. The rounded bowl is finished in rich red and blue tones, opening to a vibrant orange interior that continues beneath the lid. Resting above is a flat abstract top in turquoise and red, creating a striking modernist contrast. Measures 2 inches high by 4 inches in diameter.

Enamel on copper became a favored medium in the mid-20th century for its durability, saturated color, and ability to merge fine art sensibility with everyday function. Through repeated kiln firings, glass enamel fuses to the copper surface, producing luminous finishes and subtle variations that make each handmade piece unique.
