Flacon Napoléon lll en opaline uranifère - Perfume flask - Uranium glass

Very beautiful flacon in uranium opaline glass, French glassware from the 19th century, Napoleon III.

It shows a bright and luminous response under a 395 nm UV lamp.

In mass-colored opaline with a milky and semi-opaque appearance, its bulbous body in three superimposed sections evokes a small gourd or a vanity bottle.

Its horizontally gold-painted bands are laid out on the different levels and its motifs of small gold crosses cut across the horizontal lines.

It is a very beautiful collectible object.

Height: 11.5 cm
Width: 7 cm

In very good overall condition, only the gilded edges are somewhat worn, see photos.
