About the Item

A very nice California design enamel on copper pin dish by Jade Snow Wong, circa 1970s. Great design and beautiful green, yellow and brown colors on this 4.25"D x 1"H pin dish. The piece is in great condition and signed by the artist on the underside. #2867 Jade Snow Wong (1922-2006) was significant not just as a celebrated ceramics and enamels artist but also as one of the first writers on the 20th -century Chinese American experience. The theme of “working with your hands” resonated throughout her life: she saw her immigrant parents laboring with their hands in their garment factory; she cooked and cleaned as a maid to pay for her college education; she wrote her best-selling memoirs by hand and on the typewriter; she personally handled matters (objects and tours) in her import/export and travel businesses; and, of course, she worked with her hands as a ceramics and enamels artist. This “hands-on” approach in all of her endeavors enabled Wong to create a strong sense of identity that withstood the expectations and judgments she faced as an Asian woman. The acclaim she received for her art and writing led the U.S. State Department to ask her to serve as a cultural ambassador speaking to audiences throughout Asia. Thus, Jade Snow Wong is worth studying not just for her work in the arts, but for the many ways she succeeded in sharing her perspective with the world.
