LOVE that mirror!

Love it!!! Bevelled! Upcycled! one of a kind and, I think, right size. Hope you put it on hold!?

I would do one last check and use cardboard to make sure you like the dimension, like where the edges fall vis a vis the design in your molding.

Score!

PS Id offer 20% less. : ) Just 'cause.

Wonderful find - I love it for your mantel!!

I just marked it out with wrapping paper (who knew wrapping paper is exactly 30 inches tall). The size is fine. MTN, it was already reduced from $525. I’ll offer $400 and see what she says.

You go girl!

It's mine! I paid $425. We're both happy. :)

Congrats! Can’t wait to see it up — the design on it is so pretty. I think it’ll be very happy in its new home. :)

wonderful! I really enjoyed this. LOL

That will be beautiful. Post Pictures, please.

Yes, can't wait to see it in its new home.

I'm so happy for you and this is a fun journey!

jojo’s antique store: beautiful, vintage mirror. Unique, gracious. Lovely.

My antique store: this bizarre Rolling Stones wood art.

Back in to check on progress - you've kicked it through the goal posts! Amazing!

I expect to see it on your mantle by tomorrow! Love it. Malvern-old stomping grounds!

Love your find! It’s beautiful!

Plus I know Jojo has a thing for birds!

Jinx, that is going to look great over your mantle! Here it is mostly signs telling me I need to ENJOY or DREAM or EAT!

Ding ding ding!!! That mirror is a winner!

Love you guys! Cyn, I probably won't get it til next week as they are putting wire on it so that it can hang horizontally. Now I'm looking for vases or fat ginger jars in a celadon color. I'm thinking white is too harsh.

Would any of you buy an $850 vase from Amazon without free shipping and no next day delivery? Really?

ETA: Legend of Asia Celadon Collection

It couldn’t be better. I just love it.

Jojo, I can wait now that I know it is yours! Also, just fyi, celadon is a favorite of mine and will look lovely! I think I will be as happy as you are.

oooooh i love celadon!

BTW, i hate to say this (whispering) but I saw some really pretty ginger jars at Home Goods. They were more aqua but very pale ... maybe worth a look

What a gorgeous mirror! Cannot wait to see it!

The frame color will go great with all of the mantel. Good choice and I'm jealous!

So, thank goodness I bought the mirror earlier today. Our hw heater died tonight, as did our dryer a few days ago. We had planned to replace the dishwasher months ago. It's being delivered tomorrow. All this to say I probably wouldn't have bought the mirror had I know that we would be buying three appliances this week. Poor dh, he's kind of in shock.

(Get ready for the world's worst, most entitled segue...)

With that in mind, I am now trying to find vases on a budget.. I like these a lot (wayfair, $26 each.)

Whaddya all think? They say they are 12" tall, but I think they are really 9". I would put some white flower in them.

I like distressed, but your space is too elegant for anything more than a tiny bit of chippiness. Not too wild about the shape either.

These say celadon but...? https://www.etsy.com/listing/688880861/pair-of-celadon-crackle-glazed-mantle?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=celadon+vase+pair&ref=sr_gallery-1-11&organic_search_click=1&frs=1&cns=1

Mtn, I also have those saved! I'm going to revisit them tomorrow.

I just completely lost a post, damn this site and it’s houzz induced dysfunction!

Anyway I wanted to post these two etched glass hurricanes from he online shop at theenchantedhome.com She has several different styles, some with etched swags and flowers, etc. The ones I checked are 16” tall. They’re around $150 and I’m sure you could find others at a better price.

There are lots of styles with etched swags and other motifs. They are 16” high (at least the two i checked are) and could be used for a candle or ornaments at christmas or even long stemmed roses or gladiolus Or snapdragons. Glass adds a sparkly note to a vignette without weighing it down visually as a solid piece would. I have a couple of the brass footed hurricanes that were in our previous home‘s library and came in very handy during power outages :)

I like the vases Mtn posted. The vase in the back in the photo showing the chip looks faintly green. I would not do glass anything on the mantle since there are the clear glass sconces.

I love those glass hurricanes from Enchante Home (she has some great pieces but not cheap). However, I agree that you might want to avoid glass pieces because of the sconces you already have there.

I like the vases Mtn posted - they look white to me which I actually kind of like for your mantel and new mirror. Etsy seems to have a nice selection but you may also want to take a look here: Oriental Furnishings

I'm trying to find where I can work in a fern etched hurricane now.

I love the oriental furnishings, but am trying to. keep the mantel more French, I think, in feel.( We have a lot of oriental art in our house in other rooms.) I am leaning towards the vases Mtn posted from Etsy, but part of the description says the color is reminiscent of jade. Jade can go in so many ways. I'm waiting for clarification from the owner.

I also saw this on FB marketplace today. It would be perfect, (and is $12), but I can't find another. No brand either. I can find two in yellow on eBay, but then I strike out. boo.

For some reason I thought you were going to take down the sconces, I need to read instead of skim. I like that covered jar. if You can edit the photo close enough sometimes you can get a better image search result.

Lol, bumble... its too easy to find places—or at least uses— for them. One easter I filled them with hand painted wooden Easter eggs after they worked so well for the Christmas baubles.

wow, great for $12!!! Shame its only 1.

They also might be too tall, and too similar in shape to the glass sconces (love btw)

Also, apologies in advance but you now have me thinking about my mantles! I need more help tho because yours is beautiful nekkid.

I love these gracious little beauties:

Jinx, those are beautiful! I'm hoping to find something that will look good with peony type flowers in, with a wider opening. I stumbled upon Haeger vases and there are some beauties out there. I'm liking this one:

It's 9" tall and 5" wide. My thought is that this vase, filled with white flowers, would add crispness to the softness of the painted flowers on the frame.. There are a few on eBay, around $15-25 each.

I’m so glad you got that mirror, Jojo. It’s going to look great. What a bummer about all of the appliances. I can‘t wait to see the completed mantle.

If you could find a wide/squatty vase/pot, you could put a potted plant in it, if you could find a bloom that you like.

I am feeling the way with this inexpensive pottery/ ceramics that MTR does about mirrors, I can tell they're inexpensive.

And I just saw your post about the appliances but if it were me, I would wait until i could get what i really want. And keep looking locally! That will always be cheaper than anything online.

I bought a new handbag this morning and the identical bag on sites like poshmark are more and used. Hmm.

What think you all of two of these? Vintage, Haeger.

I really like the petals in the design but imo these are a little too clunky/square for what I am understanding to be the look you are going for... but i DO like them.

(and HI, Jojoco! I haven't been on the forum much lately and loved catching up on your house/decor!)

I heard back from the Etsy seller about a pair of vases that were described as "celadon";. Here is a new picture. They are in the blue family, but pretty.

I am feeling the way with this inexpensive pottery/ ceramics that MTR does about mirrors, I can tell they're inexpensive.

Yes, but, I think that matters more if you are really highlighting the vase. These vases will be seen from a distance, overshadowed by showy bossy peonies, and more important for their shape and color IMHO. So I think you can "get away with" more in that case.

I really like the shape of the first Haeger ones Jojo.

PS I do agree that local is the way to go.

Very nice!

I think they are pretty but maybe too pale against your overmantle?

At 8.5” are these too short? $225/pair. They are described as celadon, but appear to be a tad darker than what I think if as celadon.

There's different levels of cheap and I do think you can find some lovely things at home goods.

Jo, when can you put the mirror up, I may have missed that, or at least lean it up there to get a feel for the remaining space for jars, vases.

Here’s a matching pair of Haeger vases in a much lighter green, nearer celadon than the others.

They are on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MATCHING-PAIR-of-Haeger-Vases-Jade-Green-Celadon-7102-Embossed-Floral-1986-/254829642293?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
