Mid Century Modern Abstract Design Copper Enamel Platter Harold Tishler 1950s
Located in Miami, FL
Elegant and rich Mid Century Modern Copper Enamel Platter by Harold Tishler from the 1950s. The vivid copper background shines through the very dark gray enameling fading into a very light gray outer edge. The edges are folded in to create a softer feel. Two small drilled holes are on the bottom edge, probably needed during firing. Signed on the bottom center H. Tishler. Condition: Very Good. There are two small holes on either side of rim that were intentionally done, maybe for firing. Some rubbed spot on bottom by signature. Please look at all images and view our other H.
