AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and impressive pair of antique French opaline glass pouring jugs vases, produced in the late 19th century (ca. 1880–1900).
This imposing pair (34 cm high) is done in a moody pastel green opaline glass with a dark green foot and matching handle. The vases are hand-blown, as visible by the authentic rough pontil marks on the bottom.
Details & Décor:
Galant tableaux: Both vases are centrally decorated with a refined cartouche medallion featuring a romantic scene of a high-society couple in 18th-century dress (Fragonard-style). The two tableaux complete each other narratively as a true mirror-image pendant pair.
Hand-painted enamel:
The clothing and details are enriched with tangible, enamelled accents (such as white lace collars and relief details).
Rich ornamentation: Around the medallion are graceful scrolls, floral motifs, and botanical accents in warm orange, purple, and green tones.
Workshop mark: On the underside is the handwritten number "2.", the original workshop and set number indicating that both pieces were made together as a pair.
Condition:
The pair is in very nice antique condition with light, age-related wear to the painting and gold/enamel accents, appropriate for over 120 years old. Free from major damage, cracks, or repairs.
A stunning and decorative ensemble for collectors of historic French glass or as a classic focal piece on a mantel or sideboard.
