About the Item

This exquisite blue opaline jar or canister is a stunning piece, featuring a meticulously crafted ormolu-mounted lid that adds an extra touch of elegance and sophistication. Opaline glass was predominantly crafted in France between the years of 1810 and 1890, and this piece is a fine representation of that craftsmanship. The opaline glass itself is a vibrant, translucent blue, offering a captivating glow when light catches its surface. This beautifully made jar serves as both a functional piece and a timeless work of art, perfect for collectors and admirers of fine French glassware.
