✨ ELLIOT HALL ENAMELS — “BUTTERFLY” ✨
An exceptionally attractive and scarce hand-painted enamel box by Elliot Hall Enamels of Worcestershire, England.
Entitled “Butterfly,” this beautiful example is richly decorated with butterflies resting among vivid orange and yellow nasturtium flowers against a turquoise-green ground.
The decoration is not confined to the exterior: opening the hinged box reveals further butterflies, flowers and foliage, all meticulously painted by hand. The polished gilt-metal mount provides a particularly elegant finishing touch.
◆ Limited edition number 4 of only 35 made
◆ Hand-painted and signed by artist Cath Higham
◆ Extensively decorated inside and outside
◆ Elliot Hall factory mark and edition number to the base
◆ Original numbered certificate signed by the artist
◆ Original protective cushion
◆ Original fitted Elliot Hall presentation box
◆ Original outer protective carton
◆ Handmade in Worcestershire, England
◆ Dating from the early years of Elliot Hall Enamels, circa 2009
Every Elliot Hall enamel was painted freehand rather than using a printed transfer, meaning that each example has its own individual variations. The enamelling and painting involved numerous separate firings before the gilt-metal mount was fitted and the finished piece inspected.
With only 35 examples produced, this is a very scarce design. Complete examples retaining the signed certificate, cushion and both original boxes are particularly difficult to find.
A highly decorative miniature work of British art and an excellent addition to an established Elliot Hall or fine-enamel collection.
