Description :
This elegant French opaline glass vase dates from the 19th-century, during the Napoleon III period, and beautifully illustrates the refined decorative arts of the era. Crafted in a striking sky-blue opaline glass, the vase features a richly sculptural form with a bulbous lobed body rising to a slender neck adorned with vertical ribbing and raised beaded decoration. The flared rim is finished with a graceful ruffled edge, creating a floral silhouette that enhances its decorative appeal.
The vibrant blue color is particularly desirable and displays the luminous, slightly translucent quality for which French opaline glass became renowned during the second half of the 19th century. Whether displayed on its own, paired with other opaline pieces, or used to hold a small floral arrangement, this vase offers a wonderful accent of color and elegance.
Its compact proportions make it versatile for display on a mantelpiece, console, side table, or within a cabinet of curiosities. The combination of the scalloped rim, beaded detailing, and rounded melon-shaped body reflects the decorative exuberance characteristic of the Napoleon III period.
The vase remains a charming decorative object and an attractive example of authentic 19th-century French opaline glass craftsmanship.
