Description from the seller

Refined box made of opaline green glass, characterized by a satin finish and a pleasant translucence.

The form is cylindrical and compact, with clean and essential lines that evoke the decorative taste of the first half of the 20th century.

The box is composed of two hinged parts and finished with a gold-colored metal frame (probably brass) that runs along the top and bottom edges, integrating a small functional hinge. The opening is smooth, and the alignment between the lid and base is correct.

The item is solid and well-made, designed to hold small precious objects such as jewelry, pills, cosmetics, or grooming trinkets. Its compact size also makes it ideal as a collectible box or decorative element.

Good overall condition. There are slight signs of wear and use, such as small superficial scratches and a natural patina on the metal frame, consistent with the age of the item. No cracks or breaks visible in the glass.

Vintage production, mid-20th century.
Origin: France

Elegant, understated, with Art Deco / classical modernism cues.
Decorative and collectible item, suitable for both practical use and for display in a shop window or on a vanity.
