Folding Brass And Porcelain Wall Hanging Sculpture

The flower stems are all removable so I guess you can arrange them differently. Don't see much of a use of the folding feature besides for easy carrying around. Any idea is the "baked enamel" sticker belongs to a certain maker?

Thanks

 

'Baked' or grilled not would still be unpleasant to attempt to eat that...
I'm guessing it folds for shipping...probably a 'gross' of them.
But...I like it and it's in amazing condition!
I've used parts of similar before since they were junk when I got them.
Braised together.

 

That is GORGEOUS ! Very mid century,and looks to be of a good quality to boot. Id have jumped on that with BOTH feet. Taking a second and third look,it COULD be 1980s too. I still love it.

 

Thanks. I'd think 80's. I was expecting to find a signature but nothing, just the baked enamel sticker. Thank god the flowers can be removed which would make it safer for shipping. Still trying to find something similar and figure the maker.

 

It doesn't look like the leaves and stems are enameled, so I'd assume the flowers are enamel rather than porcelain.

 

Baked enamel is a coating applied to metals and alloys. The front of the leaves and the stems are smooth and shiny, seems like the coating was not applied on the back.
The flowers are pottery with vitrous glaze.

 

Ah, then my bad. I didn't realize brass would be coated with a metallic-looking enamel. Was that done a lot?

 

To be honest I've never heard the term "baked enamel" before. I guess there may be different terms, like anti-tarnish brass etc.
