Signed Averill Shepps Modernist Enamel on Copper Brooch

This piece is a stunning, authentic mid-century modernist studio art brooch by noted enamelist Averill Shepps. This beautiful 2-inch oval pin showcases Shepps' signature organic style, featuring a meticulous row of six abstract, cell-like formations in shimmering shades of gold, orange, and amber. The cells are beautifully contrasted against a deep, metallic olive-green and black background with a wonderful iridescent glow. The reverse features a glossy black counter-enamel backing to prevent warping during firing, complete with her authentic handwritten signature. This is a highly wearable piece of wearable American craft history and a perfect addition to any mid-century modern enamel or studio art jewelry collection. 2×1.
