About the Item

In this listing you will find a striking backlit ceramic mirror by Pan Keramik, Germany, 1970s, executed in the iconic Fat Lava aesthetic of the period. The sculptural frame is formed in richly glazed ceramic, featuring a deeply textured, volcanic surface where warm amber, bronze, and darker earth tones interact in an organic, almost molten pattern. This expressive glaze—characteristic of West German studio ceramics of the era—creates a dynamic interplay of depth and light across the surface. At its center, an oval mirror is subtly recessed, surrounded by the softly undulating, architectural silhouette of the frame. When illuminated, the integrated backlighting transforms the piece entirely: a warm halo radiates through the semi-translucent glaze, accentuating the intricate crackle texture and giving the mirror a glowing, atmospheric presence. This dual function as both mirror and ambient light source is a defining feature of these designs. The reverse reveals the original lighting system with multiple sockets (E14 bulbs), typical for Pan Keramik mirrors of the period, designed to distribute light evenly behind the ceramic body. Both sculptural and functional, this piece embodies the bold experimentation of 1970s German design—bridging art pottery and lighting design. It works equally well as a statement wall mirror or as a luminous decorative object, adding warmth and depth to any interior. When purchased the mirror will be carefully wrapped up and packed in a way to avoid any damages in transport. As soon as shipped you will receive the tracking number for your package. If you have any additional questions regarding this piece please feel free to contact me. Happy shopping!
