Vintage Walt Litt Signed Enamel on Copper Hummingbird Pendant – Rare Studio Art Jewelry

Beautiful vintage enamel-on-copper hummingbird pendant by American enamel artist Walt Litt, featuring a colorful hummingbird in flight against a vivid turquoise-blue background.

The stylized bird is rendered in rich shades of red, green, cream, blue and charcoal, with fine metal outlines separating the individual enamel fields. The rounded triangular copper form and exposed copper reverse give the piece a wonderful handcrafted mid-to-late 20th-century American studio-art character.

The reverse is hand-signed “Litt.” The signature corresponds closely with documented Walt Litt signatures found on his known enamel-on-copper works. Litt is recognized for his colorful enamel work on copper, with documented examples including landscapes, florals and birds in flight.

A particularly appealing example because it combines Litt’s recognizable enamel technique with a wearable jewelry format.
