Magnificent ceramic wall thermometer by Mithé Espelt. Marie Thérèse Espelt, alias Mithé Espelt (1923-2020) Born in Townes, near Montpellier, Mithé Espelt began her career in 1943, creating ceramic buttons for haute couture collections in the Paris workshop of Nathalie Pol and Lydia Chartier. In 1946, she decided to return to her native town and set up her ceramics workshop in an annex building next to the Hôtel de Bernis, which she had inherited from her grandfather. She married the lawyer Maurice Figère, who decided to put his career on hold and follow her in her artistic work. The choice of an artistic life enabled her to travel and draw inspiration from other cultures, which is palpable in her work. She makes everyday objects such as jewelry boxes, necklaces, mirrors and other home accessories, and never signs them, as she wants them to remain accessible to all audiences. Today, Mithé's work is recognizable by the quality of its craftsmanship. Her pieces are often composed of crackled gold enamels and colored glass inlays, which represented a technical challenge requiring several turns in the kelns and hours on the workstations. Mithé Espelt worked until 2000. His workshop still exists, but is now run by his daughter, Marion de Crécy.
