Description :
A striking pair of 19th-century French opaline glass vases in a rare and vibrant turquoise blue. Each vase features a finely moulded neoclassical shape with fluted decoration, beaded medallions, and applied ring handles on the sides. The opaline glass, with its rich and luminous tone, captures the light beautifully, creating a glowing effect typical of fine antique opaline pieces.
This elegant pair exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of French glassmakers of the mid-19th century, when opaline glass was highly prized by the Parisian elite and sought after by collectors across Europe. Their vivid colour and balanced proportions make them equally suitable for display on a mantel, console, or bedside table.
Minor wear consistent with age, including slight marks and imperfections at the base and interior, which do not detract from their beauty. A rare and decorative addition to any collection of antique glass or French neoclassical décor.
Dimensions : Ø 11,5 cm x H 27 cm
