About the Item
There’s a quiet glow in this vase, a softness that seems to hold time still.
Made in the late 1800s, this opaline glass vase is more than a decorative object — it is a vessel of light, memory, and refined taste.
Crafted in the era of Victorian romanticism and Belle Époque elegance, the vase displays the hallmarks of fine 19th-century artistry: purity of form, gentle curves, and the unmistakable milky-white opalescence that gives this glass its name. When touched by natural light, it reveals subtle blushes of pink and blue, like moonlight filtering through silk.
Its silhouette is delicate and organic, evoking the unfolding of a flower or a soft cloud in porcelain tones. It feels both sacred and natural — as if it belongs equally in a collector’s cabinet and on a sunlit console table.
This is not merely an antique. It is a poetic presence, a remnant of a time when craftsmanship spoke in hushed tones and beauty was built to last.
A rare and luminous piece for lovers of timeless charm and fine historical glassware.
