This elaborate covered dish with scenes of Jerusalem on its lid is quintessential mid-century design by way of Israel. Maurice Ascalon – considered the father of modern Israeli decorative arts movement – founded Pal-Bell Co. [1939-1956]. Ascalon's iconic metalworks include a deliberate use of verdigris, or a chemically induced green patina.
