A striking vintage 1980s handmade copper enamel abstract post-modernist platter artwork by Peg Miller of Wayne, New Jersey. A visually arresting artwork in enamel on copper! Entirely handmade, and the work of a master of her craft! Peg Miller was a late 20th century enamel artist based in Wayne, New Jersey, known for her abstract compositions on copper. She treated each piece as a painting, using the copper base as her canvas and fusing ground glass with metal oxides at temperatures exceeding 1,700°F. Her work often featured geomorphic themes—volcanoes, ice floes, and tectonic movement captured in rich earth tones and dynamic enamel textures. Sometimes her enamels (like this one) have sections that are bare of enamel, but that have been oxidized dark for contrast with the rich enamel tones! This artwork measures 9.75" diameter by almost 1" high at rim. Fully marked with the original labels at back as shown. Displays perfectly in a case or on a wall, though there are two very small spots where pressure from a plate hanger caused internal crazing in the enamel. This is not at all noticeable when displayed, and you can't see it in my photos unless I magnify the area with up-close photos. Otherwise excellent vintage condition and ready for display.
