AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant decanter in opaline glass blown to mouth, in milky white tone, decorated with hand-painted enamel of fine multicolored floral garlands, enriched by small naturalistic motifs and subtle gold accents on the neck.

The light design and the care in the stroke reveal a delicate and decorative artisanal work. The polished pontil on the base, the manual execution and the cut stopper point to a continental European production, probably French or Bohemian.

Based on technical and stylistic characteristics, the piece may date from the second half of the 19th century, about 1850–1890.
