    French opaline glass was made in France between 1810 and 1890 and has a white finish that resembles milk glass. The first colors made were turquoise, yellow and pink, but as the period progressed they made brighter colors in an effort to imitate Bohemian glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted French opaline glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To identify French opaline glass, hold it up to a light source. Genuine opaline glass should appear translucent and take on a pink or red tint. Also, turn the piece over. Because opaline glass is hand-blown, you should see a small circular point at the center of the base. If you're still not certain about the identification, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a range of opaline glass on 1stDibs.
