Description from the seller
19th Century French Opaline Glass Vase – Elegant Embossed Decoration
This refined French opaline glass vase captures the timeless elegance of 19th-century decorative arts. With its soft milky translucence and delicately sculpted form, it embodies both sophistication and subtle charm, making it an उत्कृष्ट addition to any antique glass collection or interior décor.
The vase features a gracefully flared rim leading to a slender neck, adorned with finely embossed scroll and geometric motifs. Its bulbous lower section is highlighted by a ring of raised circular medallions, resting on a robust, ribbed pedestal base that enhances its visual balance. The opaline glass displays a luminous, slightly iridescent quality, typical of traditional French craftsmanship from this period.
Originating from France in the 19th century, this piece reflects the artistry and decorative trends of the era, where opaline glass was highly prized. The vase is unsigned, which is common for such production, yet its stylistic details strongly affirm its authenticity and period.
Dimensions: Height 16 cm (6.3 inches); Diameter 12 cm (4.7 inches).
Condition is overall good considering its age, with a minor chip at the base, visible upon close inspection but not detracting from its display appeal. This piece remains highly collectible, particularly for enthusiasts of antique French glassware and opaline objects.
A charming and authentic decorative object, ideal for collectors or as a refined accent piece.
