Description from the seller

Antique Ornithomorphic Rosewater Sprinkler in Opaline Glass
France or Bohemia, 19th century

A charming and highly decorative bird-shaped rosewater sprinkler crafted in white opaline glass, richly hand-painted with floral motifs, vibrant polychrome enamels and gilt accents. This whimsical vanity object reflects the elegance and refinement of 19th-century European decorative arts.

The piece retains its original stopper and stands on three integral feet. An old restoration is present on one of the feet, consistent with the age of the object, but it does not detract from its visual appeal or display quality. The vibrant decoration and delightful bird form remain exceptionally attractive.

Height: 8.0cm
Dimension: 16x8.0cm


A rare and enchanting collector's piece, equally suited to a cabinet of curiosities or a refined interior display.
