1960’s Mid-Century Modern ‘Bovano’ Ashtray, Catchall in Enamel on Copper. Bovano of Cheshire is a renowned enameled copper sculpture company founded by artist Jim Bower. The history of Bovano of Cheshire began in 1952, when Jim began experimenting with powdered glass fused to small copper plates in the basement of his home in Cheshire, Connecticut. His playful approach resulted in early designs applied to small glass enamel plates, which were sold under the name "Bower Enamels." Finely ground crystals are fused to treated copper surfaces at high temperatures to create brilliant, iridescent surfaces . As many as twenty-five different steps are required to handcraft each piece of Bovano. This 1960s dish features a vibrant blue enamel background with a striking yellow and red design in the center.
