A flawless vintage 1950s handmade blues and gold copper enamel abstract modernist tray artwork by California multi-disciplinary artist/designer Sascha Brastoff (1917-1993). An incredible one of a kind work of abstract art in shades of blue and white with gold painted overtop the enamel! An exceptionally large example, and in flawless original condition! His work is getting harder and harder to find especially in the larger formats like this one! Measures 11.75" diameter by 1.75" high at rim when placed flat, and weighs over 2 pounds prior to packing. Signed at front as shown, "Sascha B." and has a number at back that is likely the design number. Brastoff designed these enamel artworks, but had professional enamelists make them for him to his specifications. This was the case with the bulk of his pieces as his designs crossed into so many different arts and crafts. As these enamel artworks were handmade, they are each unique with small differences in the execution of the design. See my last two photos for an image of the artist as a young man, and a short biography of him that I found online. There is an original hanging apparatus at back as shown. This is an enamel artwork, not a catch-all on a table where you throw your keys and coins. Enamel is quite fragile, and I suggest preserving it by displaying it on your wall or in a case. Excellent vintage condition.
