French MidCentury Bazot 18KGoldPouredGlassEnameledPlaques SilverPendantsNecklace
About the Item
Featuring French studio-artist Andree Bazot's signature technique of topping free-formed layers of polychrome enamels fused on textural foiled plaques with a dollop of poured glass and trails of 18K gold, this unmarked silver snake-chain necklace with five linked pendants was acquired in Paris and most likely made there by mid-century as its vintage modern silver "bow-tie" barrel clasp suggests. Based on the early-20th-Century style of enamel painting on copper-foiled decorative objects that remained popular in Limoges France, Bazot developed her more three-dimensional abstract twist at her Parisian firing studio beginning in the mid-1940s to reflect the Abstract Expressionist movement in painting, which spread from its post-WWII epicenter in New York City to dominate the international art scene for a decade.
Intended to appear like a bezel-set cabochon gem in the center of each pendant, fuchsia poured glass is ringed by molten gold over a thickly enameled oval foiled dome of pink, yellow, orange, red, burgundy, green and white, whose colorful layers were individually fired. When viewed with a loop, the edges of a top layer of clear enamel can be seen encasing the stones and wide or narrow trails of gold. Additional metallic streaks and specs reflect where the foil textures part the enamel. The effect is a complex blend of iridescent colors that appear like they are fluid.
Unlike traditional enameled-copper plaques from Limoges that are set on pendants or links with open backs, ours have solid silver-alloy backs that seem to have prevented a typical enamel signature by the artist.
