AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rara Bonbonnière / Flacon Box in Opaline Turquoise Glass and Golden Bronzed Brass – Attributed to Baccarat / Saint-Louis, France, 19th Century.
Elegant and refined antique bonbonnière (or flacon box) from the 19th Century (Napoleon III / Charles X period), crafted in precious blown opaline glass in the characteristic blue turquoise tone (bleu céleste). The body, with a slender silhouette on a circular foot and a baluster stem, is topped by a shaped lid finished with a finely chased gilded bronze finial in the form of a pinecone. The lid is hinged to the body by a gilded bronze (ormolu) band decorated with guilloché enamel and a shaped closure.
The brilliance of the glass blend, the purity of the opaque blue, and the quality of the metal mounting’s engraving point to the excellence of French crystal works of the period, attributed to the master glassmakers of Baccarat or Saint-Louis.
Type: Bonbonnière / Covered vase / Flacon box
Era: 19th Century (circa 1850–1880)
Origin: France
Attribution: Baccarat / Saint-Louis manufactory
Materials: Opaline glass, gilded bronze (ormolu)
Color: Turquoise blue (Bleu turquoise / Bleu céleste)
Height: 26 cm
Width (max diameter): 10 cm
Condition: Excellent period-condition; glass intact with no chips or cracks. Solid and functioning gilded bronze mount with a beautiful original patina.
Notes for the collector
Opaline-turquoise pieces produced by Baccarat and Saint-Louis in the mid-1800s were made without a stamped mark (as acid-etched or punched signatures were introduced routinely only starting in 1936). The exemplary execution of the blowing and the gilded bronze details make this piece a highly charming decorative item with historical collectible value.
Shipping to the United States is not available.
