Crafted in Bohemia, present-day Czech Republic, circa 1920, this exquisite antique vanity mirror combines the elegance of Art Nouveau sculpture with the functionality of a decorative tabletop mirror. Signed T. Schloop, the finely modeled earthenware composition features a graceful young woman seated upon a naturalistic rocky base, holding an ornate circular mirror in a beautifully sculpted support.
The female figure is portrayed wearing a flowing, off-the-shoulder gown finished in soft turquoise-blue and green tones. Her serene expression, delicately modeled facial features, and upswept hairstyle adorned with flowers reflect the romantic aesthetic of the Art Nouveau period. The carefully arranged folds of her dress cascade around the rocky pedestal, creating a sense of movement and sculptural depth. Behind the figure, the decorative support is embellished with small floral motifs and scrolling details.
The removable circular mirror is fitted with a thick beveled glass plate, adding both elegance and practicality. The antique ceramic sculpture is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, retaining its attractive glazed finish and delicate pastel coloration. The base bears the artist's signature, while the underside is impressed with the number 7602 and additional factory markings.
An unusual and charming example of Bohemian decorative artistry, this figural vanity mirror would make a beautiful addition to a dressing table, bedroom, powder room, or antique ceramics collection.
