About the Item

French rectangular shaped Bulle de Savon White opalescent jewelry box A “bulle de savon” box formed as a rectangular shaped hinged container with softly rounded edges and a gently domed lid. The body and cover are produced in uniform opalescent glass displaying a milky white tone with subtle blue undertones and cloudy internal striations characteristic of bulle de savon glass. The lid mirrors the rectangular profile of the base and sits flush when closed, creating a continuous outline. The glass surfaces are smooth and evenly finished, with consistent wall thickness visible along the corners and base. A gilt metal mount encircles the junction between the lid and the body, forming a hinged frame that secures the two glass elements. The hinge is integrated along the rear edge and aligned with a low-profile clasp centered at the front. Inside, the metal frame follows the square opening with a scalloped inner edge, neatly fitted to the glass rim. The interior walls are undecorated, maintaining the same opalescent finish as the exterior. The base is flat and stable, with the glass subtly thickened at the lower edge for support. The box is constructed with precisely fitted glass panels and a well-aligned metal mounting that allows the lid to open and close smoothly. The opalescent glass shows even coloration and controlled translucency across all sides, while the metal elements are securely attached and consistently finished. These features reflect careful production standards associated with French decorative glass boxes of this type, intended for the storage of jewelry or small personal objects.
