How do I identify French opaline glass?
1 Answer

To identify French opaline glass, hold it up to a light source. Genuine opaline glass should appear translucent and take on a pink or red tint. Also, turn the piece over. Because opaline glass is hand-blown, you should see a small circular point at the center of the base. If you're still not certain about the identification, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a range of opaline glass on 1stDibs.
