This small mirror is ceramic finished with a brightly colored washes. Three dragonflies: blue, dark blue and purple jut out from three of the four corners. The other corner - top left - is decorated with a three-dimensional swirl. The mirror does not appear to be glazed, but washed or painted.
The framed mirror is about 4.5 x 3.5 inches, excluding the projecting dragonflies. The mirror itself is about 2.5 x 2 inches. The dragonflies fill much of the mirror space. It is decorative, not functional.
The top of the mirror is washed in turquoise. The right side is washed in yellow/green. The bottom is washed in purple. The left side has two colors - extending the turquoise color on the top and the purple color on the bottom.
There are many different design elements used to give the item texture: the dragonflies have crosshatches, pin marks and lines, there are pin impressions on the top and bottom of the frame and there is a impressed swirl design on the bottom of the frame.
The back of the mirror is covered with craft paper and is signed:

We have never seen a piece like this signed on a piece of paper, rather than the piece itself.
At the top back is a copper colored bar, so that you can hang the mirror on a wall.
The craft paper on the back is worn at the edges.
We used technology to white-out the image of our camera in the mirror.
