Glass Hollywood Glam

I had a very lovely little reverse painted mirror in my foyer that I got many, many years ago at an antique store. Sadly I knocked it off of my wall. Not sure how I even thought to look at Novica, maybe I was searching for something else, but I happened upon these mirrors. Yay!! They are very nicely made and similar to the one I broke. They arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I love them and have hung two. I am going to give the third one to my daughter-in-law.

I have wanted some of these unique glasses for some time, and I am so glad I finally broke down and gifted myself! They are simply lovely and very substantial. The stem is easy to hold onto; hands don't need to touch the globes. They hold 10oz. and let red wine dazzle. So happy to have them, but I think I need to order a few more.

This is my 3rd reverse painted mirror from Asunta Pelaez. 1st was the small Crimson Star; then the octagonal Black Star; and my birthday present was this golden Sweet Flower Majesty. They are all beautiful, but I do have one complaint: Though the mirrors increased in size/weight, all are pre-mounted only with a single relatively cheap piece of hanging hardware (pictured -- the scratches on the paint are from hanging the mirror my wall, the removing it for the picture). I would need to *very carefully* mount another piece of hanging hardware to hang a mirror horizontally. Also, the existing hardware is both somewhat flimsy (I live in an earthquake zone), and mounted so near the edge of the frame that if you use a hook instead of just a nail, the hook is visible above the mirror. At the moment, my solution is to paint my hanging hook to match my wall. I would prefer to mount better hardware to the mirror, but the mirror is thin and I worry about breaking it if I add hardware!
