Manufacturer: Landau Associates, Los Angeles, California
Produced by Landau Associates of Los Angeles, California, this carries an original label stating that this item was part of the California Cloisonne line. This is the most common pattern I have seen but this large shape is uncommon. The pattern features the use of many large and small jewels, arranged more realistically than Davidson or Bovano did. There is a spray of jewels in the center in a floral design, though it is highly stylized and abstract as one would expect from the time period. Five large jewels are in the center: deep red, pink, seafoam green, carnelian and a transparent yellow. These same colors are found around the piece along with a pumpkin orange color. The branches and stems are painted on. The two tone pink and white background is distinctive as only early Bovano pieces use it. The sheared off corners are also interesting giving the piece an octagonal shape. The copper color counter-enameling is distinctive as well. The large black paper label in the shape of an artist's palette reads: California Cloisonné 1958. Hand Decorated Enamel On Copper, by Landau and Associates, Los Angeles. There are also three green felt pads to protect the surface upon which this piece would rest. There are some crazing lines on the back to the counter-enamel but the front has none such damage. It is excellent
An up-and-coming collectible as evidenced by the seminal exhibition at the Long Beach Museum of Art in 2007. Use it for your keys on an entrance table at your Malibu beach house or put bonbons in it and put it on your Noguchi or McCobb coffee table in your Eames era house.
