QR Code Link to This Post
This small mirror is ceramic finished with a turquoise colored wash and impressed with stamps of swirls, six-pointed-stars and circles in a darker blue. The mirror does not appear to be glazed, but washed or painted.
The top of the mirror frame is arch shaped and has a diamond shaped cut out with royal blue fill.
The mirror is about 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
The scalloped bottom of the mirror frame has three tiny holes through which are threaded decorative black wires with tiny, square yellow/green beads and what appear to be genuine turquoise wheel or doughnut shaped stones. The central dangle also has a turquoise or turquoise colored round bead.
The back of the mirror is covered with craft paper and is signed:
Kate McLeod
Belfast, ME
2003
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 silver colored bar, so that you can hang the mirror on a wall.
The craft paper on the back is curled at the edges and there are some small spots on the paper near bottom right corner. There is a tiny nick to the top right corner of the front. The wash or paint on the front of the mirror appears somewhat uneven in color. There is a tiny scratch near the bottom left corner of the mirror.
