Very Rare – Famed Designer Ettore Sottsass for Il Sestante – Enameled Copper Plate designed circa 1958. Part of a collection in enameled copper that Sottsass created for the opening of Il Sestante Gallery in Milan in 1958. Like the ceramic vases from his early career, the plate signal a transition in Sottsass’s practice. The simple geometric patterning and shapes reflect the influence of the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, while the infusion of color and the playfulness of the designs are harbingers of his later work. Pre-Owned and in clean, good condition, however as you can see it does have a chip and some scratches. Pricing accordingly, however this is still a very rare valuable find. Measurements is 6 inches.
