Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, it’s made from wonderfully thick, substantial glass, with an extraordinary deep-cut bevel that catches and reflects the light like a faceted gemstone. The softly angular shape feels beautifully balanced in the hand, with a satisfying weight and quality that makes it a pleasure to use. Its original backing has acquired the lovely, timeworn character of a piece that has lived through generations, while the glass itself remains in remarkably beautiful condition, with no chips. Whether resting on a dressing table, used for your daily beauty rituals, or treasured for meditation and mirror work, there’s something special about looking into a mirror with so much history. A little portal to another time, full of old-world charm, mystery, and beauty.
