Her interest in balance and movement transformed from a 2-dimensional to a 3-dimensional format. The concept of movement was now real, the image of space was now tangible.

HERES A SIGNED ORIGINAL VINTAGE MODERN ENAMEL-ON-COPPER BOWL CREATED BY EDGEWOOD, WASHINGTON ARTIST JEAN TUDOR! Measuring a little over four inches (4 1/8) in height by six and five eighths inches (6 5/8) in diameter across the top, Jean Tudor created two beautifully stylized fish swimming along the side of the bowl rendered in variegated dark blue, green and brown enameling. Tudor employed a sgraffito technique to draw the fish within what appears to be thickly applied creamy liquid enamel. She then fired the bowl in a reduction atmosphere to give the enamel surface an iridescent quality. This may be an example of Tudors Raku Enameling (please see the artists own website for more detailed information). The bowls interior is enameled in the same variegated dark blue, green, and brown enameling. Signed within the enameling itself on the underside bottom Tudor. Condition: The exterior enameling with the fish painting is absolutely beautiful and flawless! The bowls interior, which is a more translucent enameling, does show a couple of craze lines and there are what are called brush lines on the surface of the underlying copper that are showing through the translucent enamel (but these are original to the bowl). Overall, still a beauty! Please scroll down to read the artists biography about Jean Tudor! JEAN TUDOR BIO (the following information is courtesy the artists own website). She is married to William E. Tudor, a retired Episcopal priest. She has been a member of The Enamelist Society since its inception in 1987. She is a juried member of the Northwest Designer/Craftsmen.

She has served on the Grünewald Guild board of trustees. She is represented by The ArtHouse (Olympia, WA). Art Studies: BA in History, Education, and Literature; University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA, 1956. Enamels studies; Penland School of Crafts 1970 (Mary Ellen McDermott and Fern Cole), 1971 (James “Mel” Someroski) and 1973 (William Harper). BFA in Metalsmithing; Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, 1981 (Phillip Fike, Gene Pijanowski, Mark Hall). ARTISTS STATEMENT (courtesy the website for Northwest Designer Craftsmen). Enamel is a continually expanding source of fascination, with its ancient roots and variety of techniques. My current work encompasses cloisonné, traditional sifting and inlaying of the ground glass, and raku-fired enamels. I enjoy playing the chaotic raku results against the highly controlled cloisonné images. And, of course, it is all about color and light. Glass has a wonderful and great range of colors, the effects of which are broadened by changes in light from hour to hour and season to season, and all this is enhanced by using both transparent and opaque enamels over different metal surfaces. My imagery comes from a variety of sources: my love of the planet, interest in marks man has left on the land, history, literature, family history, time in Latin America, liturgical artany number of things. LASTLY, SHOULD THE WORD “EAMES” BE USED IN THE SEARCH TITLE, IT IS THERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF REFERENCING THE MID-CENTURY TIME PERIOD OF THE 1940S THROUGH THE 1970S. 14 THIS ITEM IS BEING OFFERED BY DESIGN REFERENCES — ESTABLISHED BY A FORMER ART MUSEUM CURATOR TURNED BOOKSELLER SPECIALIZING in OUT-OF-PRINT and PERIOD MATERIALS on the PROGRESSIVE IDEAS of MODERNISM and POST-MODERNISM in DECORATIVE ARTS and ARCHITECTURE, INDUSTRIAL and STUDIO ARTS of the 19TH & 20TH CENTURIES. 15 PLEASE — NO REQUESTS FOR PHOTOCOPIES OF THIS ITEM.

This is a Vintage 1960s Signed Ottaviani Italian Modernist Sterling Enamel Our Lady Plaque. These items are an eclectic mix including gold and sterling jewelry, and many unique, and in some cases, one of a kind items, in wood, brass, and iron, and other materials as well. When I initially saw this piece, I was immediately very taken with it. In my opinion, it is an outstanding example of Italian Mid Century Modern design. The Virgin Mary is beautifully rendered in sterling silver surrounded by a wonderful, deep cobalt blue true vitreous enamel. Mary’s halo has a lighter blue enamel, and there are enamel accents on her robe in a third shade of blue. The robe also has other intaglio areas where no enamel was used. The silver sculpture is mounted on a hardwood plaque with a quite dark finish that complements the silver and enamel perfectly. On close inspection the wood has small grain marks that are very similar in appearance to those of walnut, but the grain is much tighter, and there are fewer of these grain marks, so I suspect the wood may not be walnut. The color is similar to the darkest shade typically found in rosewood. There are bands of different hues like those characteristic of rosewood, but the variations are not as dramatic as in some of the photos of rosewood I found online. I do not have enough expertise to know if this lesser variation could be characteristic of some types of rosewood or not, so I cannot make any specific attribution as to the type of hardwood from which the plaque is made. The piece is signed “OTTAVIANI” along the edge of Mary’s robe with the sterling silver purity, 925, in an adjacent oval cartouche. To the right of that is another cartouche with “8 MC” or “8 HC”, I cannot tell for sure which. The dimensions are 2 1/4″ wide x 7″ tall. The size is shown along a ruler in one of the photos. The maximum overall depth of the piece is about 7/8. The back of the plaque has a hole, approximately 5/16 deep. It appears that the hole is lined at least part of the way down with a brass collar / grommet. If you intend to hang the plaque, you should make your own evaluation as to whether using this hole to hang the plaque on a small nail or picture hanger will provide sufficient stability or not. One alternative if you decide to do so, would be to add several small balls of Quake Hold or similar product to stabilize the plaque and help attach it to the wall. The plaque is in excellent condition, with the only issue to noted a number of scratches around the hole on the back as seen. International Buyers Please Note. Doing that is against U.
