Novae is a collection of copper vases with an enamelled interior and an electroplated exterior. Hot enamel on copper is a complex craft technique that dates back to the 1950s. Industrialised by only two companies in Italy, De Poli of Padua and Dal Campo of Milan, it was abandoned in the Seventies and is nowadays being recovered by Incalmi, which is rebuilding its tradition.
Materials: Copper, glass enamel
Processing techniques: Copper turning, electroplating and enamelling on copper
