The shape of this enamel bowl alludes to the plump, rounded form of a ripe plum. Fruit, leaves, and branches are rendered in repoussé in high relief. Covered in a deep purple enamel, the surface of the plums varies as light hits it, giving it an iridescent sheen reminiscent of Tiffany's glass. Like many of his enamel forms, the shape relates closely to his pottery. The design drawing for this bowl survives, with annotations by Julia Munson, who was in charge of the enamel shop. Her notations indicate that the piece took fifty hours to make.
