Enamels seem to be very scarce in the Mid West. Or at least where I hunt. Found this at a garage sale and thought it was pretty. Pictures do not show how bright blue and vibrant this piece is. I know this isn't "one of the better" artists, who do really cool flowers and splashes, but it is a start.
This looks to be copper with the enamel top.
Haven't had much time to hunt down a giant K as a signature, anyone know.
I also included the sale tag, just incase it meant something beyond who got my two dollars.

Love the colours!...:-)
I know that there was a California company that did enamel on copper work like this in the 1960's, so its probably from around that time, but they didn't make this, because of the K signature.
beautiful and stunning colors:)
Beautiful!
Thanks everyone! I know that a whole lot of the cool enamels came out of Cali. Probably why they are so far and few here in the Mid West
HELLO Amberrose and hows your day today , wow work has been something else :)
