About the Item

This delicate ring holder, crafted in white opaline glass during the 19th century, embodies the refinement and artistry of French decorative glasswork. Opaline, a translucent glass developed in France in the early 1800s, was highly prized for its soft luminosity and ability to mimic fine porcelain while offering unique depth and radiance. The dish rests on a slender baluster stem with a circular base, both finely edged with hand-painted gilt lines that enrich its elegant silhouette. The bowl itself is distinguished by its scalloped rim, accentuated with a striking turquoise-blue band bordered by delicate gold tracery. This bold contrast of vivid blue against the milky opaline white creates a visually captivating piece, perfectly in tune with the decorative trends of the French Second Empire and Belle Époque periods. Originally designed as a ring dish "baguier", it would have graced a lady’s dressing table, serving both as a functional accessory and a refined decorative object. Today, it remains just as relevant—ideal for holding jewelry, small keepsakes, or simply admired as a testament to 19th century French craftsmanship.
