Gérard Hofmann - ミラー - Ceramic - ブルータリスト

A striking and very heavy mid-century modern ceramic wall mirror by Gérard Hofmann, signed on the reverse. This piece features a bold, Brutalist design with deeply stepped, concentric circles. The vibrant, glossy red glaze provides a beautiful contrast against the dark, textured matte bands. The frame dramatically surrounds a small central mirror, reminiscent of the classic oeil de sorcière (witch eye) style that was highly popular in mid-century European decor. Given the heavy, thick-walled construction and the expressive glazing, this piece is highly characteristic of French studio pottery from the Vallauris region during the 1960s or 1970s, though it will also appeal strongly to collectors of West German Pottery and Fat Lava aesthetics. Specifications: Material: Glazed ceramic / pottery, mirrored glass Origin: Likely France (Vallauris style) Period: Estimated 1960s - 1970s Dimensions: 24 cm (Diameter) x 4 cm (Depth) Mirror Diameter: 5 cm Weight: 1680 g Signature: "Hot." hand-painted on the unglazed base. Condition: In excellent vintage condition. The ceramic frame is structurally sound with no major chips or cracks. The glazes remain bright and glossy. The small central mirror is intact. Please review the photos carefully as they are integral to the description.
