| Additional Information | Bookends are marked Mazel-Tov On Your Bar-Mitzvah. Maurice Ascalon of Pal-Bell of Tel-Aviv, Israel (in business 1939-1956) developed a process of treating raw brass and bronze with chemicals to produce a green patina similar to aged verdigris. The style became synonymous with mid 20th century Israeli metalware. This technique was adopted by other metal crafting workshops in Israel, most notably the Dayagi Brothers of Bat-Yam in the early 1950s to early 1960s, and the Nordia moshav (co-operative village) in the 1950s. These companies also produced beautiful jugs, plates and bowls, wall hangings, ashtrays, desk writing sets, bookends and Hanukkah lamps. |
