Wrought from feather-light copper, the vase features a glowing cobalt blue vitreous enamel finish that serves as a brilliant backdrop for a hand-painted nature scene.

Artisan Technique: This piece utilizes Repoussé craftsmanship, where the bird and butterfly motifs are hand-hammered from the interior to create a striking 3D relief. The background features a Martelé (hammered) texture, creating a "jeweled" light play beneath the translucent enamel.

Hand-Painted Detail: The songbird and butterflies are finished with raised impasto accents, giving the wings and feathers a tactile, life-like quality.

Handmade Character: Standing 10 inches tall, its organic asymmetries and "bumpy" texture confirm its artisan, non-industrial origins.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a mirror-bright luster. Features fine internal crazing and minor oxidation inside, authenticating its mid-century heritage.
Dimensions: 10" H x 5.5" W (4" Diameter at top/base). See less
