This enamel-on-copper painting / plaque is signed HARDING 56 located along the bottom right edge. As you can see from the photographs shown above, the artist who created this enamel-on-copper painting / plaque rendered a beautiful nighttime scene of a cityscape with a moon in the horizon and the lights of buildings glowing in red, green, and blue. The textured sky is in black enameling. This enamel artwork is top-notch! Please Note: One potential artist who might have created this enamel plaque are John Harding of Manhattan Beach, California. John Harding was an active studio potter in Southern California during the 1950s and 1960s and even wrote articles for Ceramics Monthly magazine. At the time of this writing, however, no documentation can be found to verify whether or not he worked with enameling. Condition: This 1956 enamel painting / plaque is in beautiful condition!

While it does need to be clean, the paintings enamel surface has a very nice 61-year old patina that gives it an extra quality. In addition, the enamel painting still retains its original wooden frame and paper backing and as such it has never been removed from its frame. As you can see from the photographs shown above, the original paper backing has several tears and stains, and there is evidence that it once had an additional paper label in the upper right corner which is now missing.
