Rare Annemarie Davidson Enamel Catch-All Dish — “Blue Ghostline,” 1960s
-
Description
A striking enamel dish by Californian artist Annemarie Davidson, known for her vivid color fields and painterly abstractions in vitreous enamel. This example showcases one of her most sought-after palettes: electric cobalt blue layered with Davidson’s distinctive “ghostline” patterning. The hand-drawn radiating lines and clustered golden motifs give the piece a graphic, almost cosmic energy—like a starburst held mid-motion.
Set on copper and fired to a luminous gloss, the surface has depth and subtle texture, with tiny speckles and tonal shifts that reveal themselves as the light moves. The underside retains its original artist’s mark.
Perfect as a catch-all, jewelry dish, or simply as a sculptural moment on a shelf or coffee table. It’s a small work of art that brings color, joy, and a touch of mid-century California studio craft into any space.
A vibrant, collectible piece of American mid-century enamel work—playful, sophisticated, and full of life. -
