Set yourself apart from the crowd with this intricately detailed hand mirror from India.
These purse mirrors are perfect for a quick lipstick check. Compact enough to fit in a purse or pocket, they make an excellent gift for all occasions. Buy a set-of-six, keep a couple, and give a couple away as quick gifts.
Handcrafted by a team of artisans in Rajastan, India these unique treasures begin with a wooden base which is handcrafted by the men of the workshop into the perfect shape. They are then covered in heated lacquer into which glass beads and small mirror decorations are inserted by hand. Women do the fine detail work. The inspiration is Diwali, the Festival of Lights, a Hindu celebration of the New Year. It signifies new beginnings. Lacquer handicrafts are typically made by subsistence farmers in the off season for extra household income.
The set of 6 is exactly as shown in the first picture and includes a gold mirror with a gold pouch, a black mirror with a black pouch, a turquoise mirror and turquoise pouch, a silver mirror and hot pink pouch, a purple mirror with purple pouch, and a red mirror with a red pouch.
When you purchase this unique Worldstock item you are helping communities in need and keeping alive artisan traditions that date back centuries.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in color and sizing. Subtle shade variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements are approximate.

"These mirrors are an exceptional value. The workmanship is quite nice, and the few imperfections are simply due to the fact that they are handmade, which only adds to their charm. They make perfect gifts, but I guarantee you'll be wanting to keep one for yourself! I highly recommend these mirrors."

"I was excited to see this product and completely disappointed when it arrived. All mirrors have gross flaws. The beading looks like a child covered the mirror in glue and threw beads towards it. Patterns are off centered, beads are misplaced or missing, and the over all quality is very poor. These are not worth the price. I can not figure out how they got so many good reviews. I am returning them promptly."

"I usually like to find gifts that are a little out of the ordinary. These mirrors are so pretty!! I bought two sets and will use them for add on gifts, stocking fillers, and for small gifts where you want to remember someone's kindness, but not spend alot of money. There are some small beads that look scattered, but I think that was done by the laquor process, not the artist. Recipients would not notice that at all. I'm very pleased with them, and the bag they each come in!!"

"For the most part these mirrors are cute. Not the best workmanship but...if they are handmade then that adds to the charm. My complaint is when I purchased them I thought it would be a unique gift from India to give to my co-workers ...but every mirror had a 'made in China' sticker on it....Is it Indian or Chinese?"

"I bought these mirrors to give them to my girlfriends, and I'm definitely keeping one. They are small, varied in color. The little designs are clearly hand done, and so your going to see some variation that some people find unique, and some people will think that it makes them look cheap. It depends on your perspective. I personally am happy to keep one in my purse, and will give a couple to teen/preteen cousins as part of their X-mas presents. I ended up buying 2 sets to cover my girlfriends & cousins."

"These are beautiful little mirrors. Quite tiny and therefore more to be admired than actually useful. BUT.... they make perfect little "no-special-occasion friendship gifts" and I've given several of them to woman friends who "Oohed!" and "Aahed" and were absolutely delighted with them. The only (very minor) shortcoming is that the quality of the little satin pouch in which the mirrors come is poor, but that is more than made up for by the pretty little mirrors themselves.
I went back into on-line Overstock Worldstock to order more and found that they are currently unvailable. I plan to order more when they are back in stock. I want to have supply on hand to give to others of my friends as the occasion arises."

"I bought these very mirrors elsewhere years ago. I gave all but one mirror away. I used the one I had every day for years. Then today, I lost it. I was so sad and looked almost everywhere, backtracking my way into public restrooms and all. But no luck finding it. I am still hoping it will show up, but just in case it does not, I wanted to buy another one and so I searched all over the internet and finally found it here on Overstock. I was so happy when I saw the picture of these beautiful mirrors here on overstock and realized I had tracked them down and will once have these beautiful mirrors. Actually, I ordered two sets, just in case I lose my mirror again, and so that I can share some of them with my best friends. I will call them our friendship mirrors! They are really unique and just so pretty. The inlay on the back is not perfect, but that makes it all the more charming. They are handmade, so slight imperfections are to be expected. I highly recommend these mirrors to every gal out there! Just get them! You will be glad you did! I am so thrilled I tracked them down again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Thanks overstock, this was a great gift for my fellow female employees. Something unique and the price was great. Everyone loved them. The mirrors were a little dirty with glue and fingerprints but were successfully cleaned. I didn't have to do any wrapping as they come with their individual pouches, i just stuffed them into each recipient's Christmas cards and saved on wrapping paper and the time it takes to wrap them. Great group gift and beautiful colors."
