Background of Opaline:
Opaline is a form of decorative glassware that was most popular during the reign of Napoleon 3rd (1852-1870). Manufacture was almost entirely French, although Venetian Milk Glass inspired it.
The earliest colors used were turquoise blue, yellow, and pink (the latter not produced after 1840). In the mid-19th century, opaline was made in more vivid colors. Sky blue, the color of our vases, was invented in Bohemia in 1835 and was first copied in France at Baccarat and Saint-Louis in about 1843.
The main centers of production were Creusot, Baccarat, and Saint-Louis. Items made of opaline included bowls, vases, boxes, cups, decanters, and objects used by perfumers and hairdressers.

Storyteller: Once upon a time, there was a lovely couple who had recently relocated to their dream home in France. When organizing their attic, they discovered a pair of beautiful opaline glass vases that had been passed down from generation to generation. The vases were stunning, with intricate designs of parakeets and butterflies surrounded by flowers painted in the most beautiful blue colors. The vases had an antique enchantment that drew the two in, and their beauty captured them. They noticed something odd as they placed the vases on the coffee table. There had particular energy about them, almost as if they were alive. The vases radiated warmth and love, and the couple felt like they were being welcomed by an old, beloved friend. The couple couldn't help but sense a connection to the vases as they sat on the couch. These were more than just decorative items; they had a history of love and passion that had spanned generations. The vases served as a window into the couple's history, reminding them of the beauty and enchantment of love. As time passed, the pair would frequently sit by the vases, holding hands and telling stories about their own love journey. They'd talk about the highs and lows, and how their love had grown stronger with each passing day. They could feel the vases beaming back at them as they talked as if to say, "Love never dies." Years passed, and the couple grew old together, but their love remained constant. Throughout it all, the vases served as a continual reminder of love's undying strength.
