Mirror - Enamel, Ceramic

Vintage glazed ceramic wall mirror – Vallauris spirit – 1960s-1970s Rare small glazed ceramic wall mirror, characteristic of French decorative creations from the 1960s-1970s. Its very original frame features a turquoise glazed background with crystallized enamel, highlighted by gold borders and a multitude of colorful circular medallions. These raised elements, treated as small cabochons, combine olive green, brown, black, pink and mauve shades. The overall effect evokes the neo-Byzantine jewelry mirrors produced by the Vallauris workshops at the time. The narrow, slightly irregular shape, color variations and texture effects emphasize the artisanal character of the piece. This mirror is unsigned; it is therefore presented as a French work in the Vallauris spirit, without attribution to a specific ceramist. The ceramic contour and the enamels are in impeccable condition: no cracks or visible restoration, and the colors have kept their depth. The glass shows several age-related tarnish alterations, notably on the borders. These are clearly visible in the photographs and contribute to the object's authentic patina.
