Know before you buy
No, this piece is specifically designed as a freestanding object. It is intended to be displayed on a shelf, console, or tabletop rather than hung on a wall.
The mirror is crafted from mouth-blown glass that mimics the texture and appearance of frozen water. Because of its unique glass-on-glass construction and artistic design, it serves as a decorative centerpiece that plays with light and reflection, even when not being used as a functional mirror.
The Polar Black Large mirror measures 13 inches in width and 13 inches in height. Its compact, square profile makes it a versatile size for various surfaces throughout the home.
The mirror features a combination of black and clear glass, mouth-blown to create a distinct, organic look. Because each piece is handmade at Kosta Glassworks, you can expect slight variations that make every mirror unique.
As a piece of fine mouth-blown glass, it should be cleaned gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the glass surface or the integrity of the finish.
