Stan Bitters Scratch Pot for Hans Sumpf

This striking octagonal enamel plate by Annamarie Davidson exemplifies the bold innovation and craftsmanship of mid-century modern design. Radiating with dynamic energy, the plate features a mesmerizing composition of raised circular forms in vibrant blues, soft lavenders, lemon yellows, and aquas. These biomorphic shapes pulse from the center outward, dramatically set against a richly textured field of radiating copper-brown lines over a vivid electric blue enamel ground. The plate’s dimensionality and meticulous surface treatment create a luminous, almost cosmic effect—an exceptional example of Davidson’s signature style. Annamarie Davidson was a pivotal figure in the American studio enamel movement during the mid-20th century. Working primarily in the 1950s and 60s, Davidson was part of a wave of California-based artists who elevated enameling from a craft tradition to a fine art form. Her work is celebrated for its rich color palettes, playful abstraction, and masterful command of vitreous enamel on copper. Each piece is not only a testament to her technical skill but also to her ability to harmonize modernist aesthetics with expressive, organic forms. As mid-century modern design sought to integrate art into everyday life, Davidson's enamelware—functional yet visually arresting—embodied that ethos perfectly. This plate is more than decorative; it is a radiant artifact from a revolutionary design era, and a fine addition to any collection of mid-century art, ceramics, or design.
