Single Goblet Shaped, Gilded and Painted White Opaline Glass Luster, Late 19th C
About the Item
This luster takes the form of a goblet, and it is covered in stunning Islamic and Arabic motifs. There's a good chance that the product was made with the Turkish market in mind. It was created in France between the years 1850 and 1920, but the exact year is unknown.
This particular luster has not even the slightest chip or crack in it. Because the artwork is not burned into the glass and some of it has been scratched out through the years, we are unable to come to a consensus regarding how old this item is. The gold and the paintings have both lost some of their color and sparkle as a result of the passage of time.

Storyteller:
Amina loved browsing through antique shops, always on the lookout for unique treasures to add to her collection. One day, she came across a stunning luster goblet with intricate Arabic designs covering it. Amina was immediately drawn to its beauty and knew she had to have it.
As she examined the goblet, she noticed that it was in perfect condition, with no chips or cracks, and the designs seemed to be etched into the glass. She wondered about its age, and after some research, she discovered that it was made in France between 1850 and 1920, most likely for the Turkish market. However, the exact year of its creation remained a mystery.
Excited to show off her new find, Amina invited her friends over for a small gathering. As they admired the goblet's unique decorations and shimmering gold, Amina noticed her friend Ali studying it intently. When she asked if everything was alright, Ali shared a memory from his childhood: his grandfather's ancient Arabic tent and the village he used to visit.
Intrigued by Ali's story, Amina encouraged him to tell her more. As he described his childhood memories, Amina was transported to a sandy Arabic village in her mind, filled with sights, sounds, and scents she had never experienced before.
From that day on, the luster held a special place in Amina's heart, not just because of its beauty and history but also because of the memories and stories it brought to light. It became a cherished piece in her collection, reminding her of the rich cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations.

Storyteller: A young American soldier called James served in France during World War Two. As he strolled down the street, he saw an antique shop with a stunning opaline glass box in the window. Even though the glass had lost its gold coating, it was still in fine condition. James wasted no time in entering the store to inquire about the mysterious box. Madame Dupont claims the box, which is flawless, was manufactured in France some time between 1850 and 1920. James bought the crate because he wanted a piece of French heritage in his home. James kept the box on his bunk and used it to pass the time in his leisure time while stationed in France.
