What buyers say
1 review on this pieceAbout this piece
Meet The Close Encounter. A mirror ball alien head covered entirely in hand-finished glass mirror tiles, with piercing green crystal eyes that catch the light from every angle. Your houseplant just got abducted.
Choose Your Style
- Plant Pot: open top, ready for your favourite trailing plant or succulent
- Statue: closed dome top, purely decorative and just as striking
Each piece is handmade in our workshop in the Cumbria countryside. Every single mirror tile is placed and finished by hand, so no two are exactly alike. The result is a proper disco ball alien that throws light around any room.
Part of our mirror ball disco collection, The Close Encounter sits perfectly on a shelf, windowsill, or desk. It works just as well in a plant-filled living room as it does in a home office that needs a bit of personality.
