Add a touch of Parisian artistry to your collection with this striking vintage enamel on copper dish, signed clearly on the base “Chevalier Baj / Paris.”

Created in the mid-20th century by Catherine Chevalier-Baj, a recognised French enamel artist known for her bold colours and shimmering kiln-fired surfaces, this miniature dish captures the spirit of modernist design combined with timeless craftsmanship.

Measuring 7cm in diameter, this small vide-poche or decorative bowl features an iridescent glaze of deep greens, blues, and copper tones.
