NOTICE
French artist and ceramist Mithé Espelt is renowned for her refined creations of ceramic mirrors and decorative objects, marked by timeless elegance and modernity. Espelt developed a distinctive style in the 1950s, producing mirrors framed with glazed ceramic tiles, blending geometric shapes with motifs inspired by nature. His works are immediately recognizable by their precious finishes and glossy surfaces, often created with gold or iridescent glazes.
Mithé Espelt's mirrors are characterized by their decorative richness and chromatic harmony. Each frame is carefully crafted to create a mosaic effect where touches of color, gold and metallic reflections are juxtaposed. Her use of floral, geometric and abstract motifs gives her mirrors a luxurious, refined look, while retaining a simplicity of form that complements both modern and classic interiors.
Close in her approach to decorative ceramics to designers such as Georges Jouve and Roger Capron, Mithé Espelt follows in the tradition of the master ceramists of the XXᵉ century, while developing a personal style imbued with poetry. His mirrors, long confidential, are today highly prized for their unique aesthetic and their ability to combine decorative art and functionality, making Mithé Espelt an iconic figure in art ceramics.
