Wait…pigeon??
Gordon…thank you for the lovely composition and most informative history of AP. Greatly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this…especially right before the Grand Exhibition in Japan!! I thought you were on the way there already and yet still have time to post this awesome article!! As for the pigeons, I wonder if there are any pictures out there or those are probably still in the collection of that VIP client. Must be really amazing to have! Thank you again!
Hello All, This post is part 2 of 2 of my GTG with Anita Porchet, aka Enamel Queen 👸!
Following the first post ( www.watchprosite.com which provides interesting tidbits about certain references and enamel techniques, this one talks about Anita’s personal journey and selected milestone pieces that she worked on for various bra...
What an amazing post about…
…an amazingly talented artist ! Many thanks Gordon for this interesting detailed article about Mrs AP and her amazing work 👍👌👌
You are welcome Mike ! Please
read my post about the "daring" straps www.watchprosite.com
Fascinating journey that creates an even greater appreciation of her work and how she followed her passion for many years before receiving the recognition her work deserves.
I had the pleasure of meeting Anita a few years ago. She was as charming and humble as her enamel work is beautiful. Great story Gordon and well captured by you. Best, Patekova
Hi Patekova, She is an excellent enamelist and a great
person who is humble and friendly. Hopefully I will meet her at the Tokyo exhibition and learn more about her work to share with forum members to poison you all more !

As you requested, I asked the enamel queen 👸 , let’s
wait and see because of possible confidentiality issue
You are welcome ! I arrived Tokyo late night and made this post around 3am. :-) BTW, not pigeon, but
pigeonS ! 🤣 A male one first then followed by female. If I meet Anita at the exhibition, I will ask her whether she could share photos or not due to confidentiality reasons.
Bravo Gordon!
Great posts and really nice to have an insight into her world. I know how much you love enamel so it is also great you have had a chance to have this interaction with Anita. Thank you!
Great post Gordon! Your finest post ever in my opinion!
Thank you for writing this great post Gordon! It was a pleasure to read!
Beautifully written! Thank you.
Truly appreciate the time and effort you have taken to organise this interview and then share it with the like minded. Your articles are a wealth of information and insight to the life and work of a contemporary artist. You must have had a great time talk...
Thanks for your kind comments which
keep me going on this type of posts ! More to come from my Tokyo exhibition trip !
Thanks doublesix ! Your specific comment on the last pic made me think why I did
NOT use it as the first photo to get more attention ! Live and learn.
Amazing post - thank you
I would be interested if there is anyone who can/ will take reign - 1) for miniature enamel paintings since Madame Rohr has retired and 2) if AP is helping educate a new geenration of enamel artists ?
You are welcome !
Anita is now considered the top enameler, inclusive of miniature painting. What do you think of her paintings ? Anita has a small team that works with her and naturally she is supervising and teaching them.
Thanks Sterling for your kind comments ! 👍
Your appreciation provides the strength 💪 for me to continue this type of posts !
AN ENJOYABLE READ OF ANITA PORCHET'S MINI BIOGRAPHY
A GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO PP AND THE ART WORLD. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS.....
ENJOYABLE READ
THANK YOU, GORDON. AFTER READING CHAPTER 1, MY CHAPTER 2 COMMENTS RE: MS PORCHET HAVE BEEN HEIGHTENED EXPONENTIALLY.... SINCERELY, STEVE
Thanks Oliver for chiming in because our previous GTG in Beijing, when you were the Patek moderator, enabled me to understand that
“sharing is caring” is what WPS is about ! 👍
Thanks Gordon as always!
Very hard to get allocated her work but at least we get to learn and enjoy here!
You are welcome ! Have you
seen dials from rare handcrafts in the metal ? They are really poisonous ☠️ ! 😉
