Elegant and refined antique bonbonnière (or flask box) from the 19th Century (Napoleonic III / Charles X period), made in precious blown opaline glass in the characteristic turquoise blue shade (bleu céleste).
The body, with a slender silhouette on a circular foot and a baluster stem, in refined opaline glass.
