About the Item

This large French opaline vase, made around 1840, exemplifies the grace and refinement of early 19th-century decorative glass. Hand-blown and beautifully translucent, the vase glows with a soft inner light characteristic of fine opaline. It is exquisitely hand painted with an encircling bouquet of roses, morning glories, lilies, and other flowers, each rendered with delicate brushwork and naturalistic color. The floral garlands wind around the vase in a free, organic rhythm, a style much admired in France during the first half of the 19th century. The artistry lies in the sense of movement and freshness, the flowers seeming to bloom across the surface in soft hues of blue, pink, orange, and green, all heightened by a fine gilt rim at the mouth and base. The vase is entirely hand-blown, with no seams and a polished pontil beneath, hallmarks of the finest French glassmaking traditions. Its clarity and finish reflect the influence of both 16th-century Venetian milk glass and the Bristol glass of 18th-century England, combined into a uniquely French expression of elegance and luminosity. Dimensions: 12" tall x 4.5" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $700 Decoration: Hand-painted with roses, morning glories, lilies, and other flowers, naturalistically rendered and winding around the vase Material: Opaline glass, hand-blown with polished pontil Style: French decorative art glass, early 19th-century opaline Origin: France Date: Circa 1840 Notable Details: Hand-blown and entirely seamless with polished pontil underside Opaline glass with soft translucence characteristic of semi-crystal Naturalistic floral decoration typical of early 19th-century French design Reflects peak opaline production during the reign of Napoleon III Made in the tradition of Le Creusot, Baccarat, Saint-Louis, and Reunion workshops
