MID CENTURY GOLD AND PURPLE CERAMIC BOX WITH FLOWER BY MITHÉ ESPELT

An exceptional mid century glazed ceramic box with liquid gold border and purple flower by famed artist, Mithé Espelt. The box lid is ceramic with a blackened wood base. Born in 1923, Mithé Espelt was a ceramic artist based in the south of France. Her grandfather introduced her into the upper echelons of both the artistic and intellectual world where she rubbed shoulders with Jean Hugo, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Christian Bérard and many others. Mithé exhibited at the La Roue gallery in Vallauris in the company of the greatest ceramicists of the time. Each piece she created is handmade, reflecting her commitment to quality and her passion for artistic expression. Her works featured motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers and birds, rendered in a style that was both modern and timeless. Her dedication to her craft earned her a loyal following, and her pieces are now highly rare and collectible. Despite her success, she remained relatively private, and chose not to sign her pieces, allowing her work to speak for itself and her legacy is preserved today through the continued appreciation and admiration of her art, which remains a testament to her skill and creativity.
