Starting in the late 1940s Virginia Metalcrafters commissioned renowned sculptor Oskar Hansen to create a "Botanical Series". Natural materials - mostly leaves - were collected, moulded, and then cast in sold brass.
This circa 1948 poinsettia leaf dish is the perfect tribute to the holidays.. Bottom features VCM "Betty" mark and "3-44" mold mark.
Measures 6.25" long x 4.75" wide x .50" high.
In very good vintage condition - this piece has not been polished by C+V HOME. In current condition we see NO substantial scratches, marks, or corrosion of note. However as with any brass item of this vintage there is a natural patina which includes slight and subtle bits of tarnish, verdigris, and pitting. See photos for details.
