Signed Modernist Bjoern Engo Copper and Enamel Bowl FREE top SHIPPING

This is an outstanding piece of Enamel art by Norwegian designer Bjoern Engo in the 1950s. Using a very heavy gauge of Copper or Bronze, Engo would chisel and engrave the metal to create structure and abstract shapes, which make the Enamel translucent and vivid. The plate for sale is more than a ¼” thick and very heavy, decorated in lovely gold, blue and turquoise tones in an abstract pattern.
Bjoern top Engo (1920-1981) was a Norwegian Industrial designer, Textile designer and Enamelist, who opened his own Enamel Studio in 1953 and won a Gold Medal for his Enamel work at the Triennale di Milano in 1957. All of his Engo Norway signed pieces are hand-crafted by Engo himself, none of them are mass-produced.

The enameled top is in very good vintage condition, no chips to the enamel, the underside has some kind of metal glaze with a bunch of perfectly round bald spots – it looks like glazing imperfections. There is also some blistering and scratching present. Signed to the bottom:”Engo – Norway”.
