Cathrineholm Orange Lotus 3-Piece Enamel Kitchenware Grete Prytz Norway, 1950s

Lovely Copper Enameled Platter from the 1950s by Harold Tishler. A dusty rose enamel over the bright copper background graces this piece. There are some intentional gray streaks over some areas. The bottom is glaze with a maroon cloor center and outer edge and a soft pink circle separating the two. Instead of having a sharp edge around the circumsference, the edge has been folded over and under creating a soft rim. Signed on the bottom H. Tishler. Condition: Very Good. Two small drilled wholes on either side of the rim for firing purposes (not seem from above). Please look at all images and view our other Tishler enamels’ listings.

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.
