OPALINE GLASS
a milky hue glass which is made translucent or opaque by adding particular phosphates or oxides during the mixing the finish can be either white or coloured.
ORMOLU
is the technique of applying finely ground, high-carat gold–mercury amalgam to an object of bronze. The mercury is driven off in a kiln leaving behind a gold coating. The French refer to this technique as bronze doré and in English it is often referred to as gilt bronze. It is a finishing technique which adds an overall gold look to any object without the massive cost and impracticality of making an object out of solid gold. Mercury was outlawed in the 1830’s in France however it was still used until the early 1900s.
BELLE EPOQUE
is a period of French, Belgian and European history. It began in the early 1870’s and to ended with the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
