Description from the seller
Very beautiful glazed ceramic wall mirror, Mithé Espelt, a famed French ceramicist known for her refined, colorful, and poetic decorative creations.
The mirror features a circular shape surrounded by a wide gilded ceramic frame, divided into decorative panels. Each section is adorned with stylized flowers in relief, glazed in beautiful shades of pink, green, and white, on a deep black background. The contrast between the glossy enamels and the crackled gold gives the piece a highly decorative charm, both vintage, feminine, and elegant.
The back is covered with green felt with a hanging ring. This type of mirror fits perfectly in an entryway, a bedroom, a living room, or a gallery wall, bringing an artistic and colorful touch.
Beautiful collectible piece, sought after for its floral decor, its enamel quality, and its aesthetic typical of the 1960s/1970s.
