About the Item

A rare and remarkable pair of antique French opaline glass vases, dating from the early to mid-19th century, showcasing the height of French decorative arts and craftsmanship. These striking pieces are masterfully formed in a graceful bottle-shaped silhouette with gently flared, tapered necks and rest on round bases that have been professionally drilled, offering the option for conversion into elegant table lamps Each vase is meticulously hand-painted with an enchanting pastoral scene, rendered in delicate detail and rich, naturalistic colors. The central motif features a touching still-life composition: a serene moment of a mother bird feeding her young in a nest, nestled among trees and flowering branches. Surrounding them are finely painted elements of birds, florals, and foliage, all set against a pristine white opaline ground that enhances the vibrancy and depth of the artwork. The luminous quality of the opaline glass, combined with the sensitivity of the brushwork, reflects the refined elegance of 19th-century French decorative tradition. These vases are as versatile as they are beautiful — whether presented as stand-alone sculptural objects, placed on a mantel or console, or transformed into custom lighting pieces. Each one stand about 21.5 inches tall by 7.5 inches in diameter. Great antique condition. Minor wear consistent with age and use; bases are drilled for optional lamp conversion. A poetic and timeless addition to any fine interior, these vases are true conversation pieces — perfect for collectors and admirers of rare 19th-century European decorative arts.
