The composition creates a strong decorative rhythm and a distinctive mid-century presence.

Closely aligned with the design language of Mithé Espelt, this piece reflects the broader influence of Vallauris ceramics across European decorative production. The rear marking—“Modèle déposé / Fabrication brevetée,” also present in Dutch—suggests a likely Belgian origin.

Convex mirrors—known in France as œil de sorcière—have long been appreciated for their ability to widen the field of view and subtly animate a space through their curved reflection. Historically used in interiors to observe movement across a room or corridor, they bring both decorative presence and a distinctive spatial effect. The convex form enhances light and perspective, making these mirrors particularly sought after as decorative accents.

The mirror is fitted with its original velvet hanging band and metal triangular loop, allowing for easy wall mounting.
