About the Item

This exquisite French opaline glass casket box, dating from the Charles X period, showcases the elegant craftsmanship typical of early 19th-century French glasswork. Designed in the shape of a pumpkin, the piece is crafted from white opaline glass, accentuated by a striking green glass stem, which serves as a decorative and functional handle for the lid. The gentle curves and the vibrant contrast between the white body and green stem lend this piece a captivating visual appeal. Opaline glass, highly sought after during the Charles X era for its delicate, semi-translucent quality, was popular among French royalty and aristocracy. This opaline pumpkin casket box is not only a beautiful decorative object but also a collector’s piece that captures the opulence and charm of its time. For similar examples of opaline designs resembling melons or pineapples, see page 64 in “Les Opalines” by Christine Vincendeau, where Vincendeau discusses the popularity and variations of fruit-shaped opaline pieces. This box would make an exceptional addition to any collection of antique French glass or a unique statement piece in a refined interior decor setting. Its rarity and historical significance make it a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts of antique opaline glass.
