Vintage Pink Botanical Enamel on Copper Dish
Lovely Mid-Century Modern enamel decorative dish. This example, whose primary colors are pink and white, is small in scale (4.75″ W x 3.5″ D x 0.5″ H) but bold in design with an abstract, multi-color botanical / tree design.
The technique employed incorporates fusing powdered glass to metal (in this case, copper) to create a beautiful work of enamel art. The decoration is a smattering of circles in varying textures and colors among other fantastical details like peppermints and vines. Very unusual, beautiful piece of enamel that can be used for display purposes or as a soap / keys / jewelry dish.
Piece is in very nice, vintage condition with only minor wear commensurate with age / use.

From the family of Deanna Nichols’ personal collection of her pieces.
“I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality.” – Deanna Nichols, 2008
