A beautiful hand made small round box in a blonde hard wood. The box has an abstract Modernist design lid formed of a round, slightly domed piece of enameled copper in vibrant colors. The piece is in excellent condition, showing no major defects, just a few very minor scuffs to the wood from age and use, the enameled portion is in great condition. The box measures 3 7/8" diameter by 1 1/2ʺ high, it is the perfect size to put on a desk or dresser.
Heather Calnan of Sydney Australia "I have specialized in enamels since 1967 and have extended my knowledge by attending classes in the United States, Great Britain and Germany. I use techniques to express an idea, not as an end in itself. I like to push the three elements: glass, metal and heat, to their limits and to vary the scale of my work, creating fashion jewellery, sculpture, enamel inlays on wood and leather boxes and large wall pieces."
