Beginning in 1925 he began experimenting with glass enamel. He would build up the surface with layers of enamel before firing it which gives his roses a three dimensional real quality. To get the colors of pink in these roses they add copper and gold to the enamels with purified water to form a paste, then apply it to a copper form, before being fired, one color at a time. It would take more than 7 days to make this plaque. They continued to make these works of art for decades. The full measurement with the frame is 10”W x 12”L , the plaque itself measures 3 1/4”W x 5 1/4”L. It is signed on the front Faure Limoges France. There is also a Limoges label on the back. See less
