About the Item
A poetic and rare pairing, full of light and quiet elegance.
This pair of opaline glass vases, dating from the late 1800s, evokes the charm of refined 19th-century interiors — where every object spoke of taste, care, and timeless style.
Made of milky white opaline glass, a prized material of the time for its porcelain-like appearance and gentle translucence, these vases are beautifully proportioned and delicately finished. Their silhouette is classic, with a soft flare and a finely worked base that gives balance and poise.
Their surface captures the light with subtle iridescence, glowing softly and shifting in tone as the day passes. They need no flowers to shine: they are already complete — objects of presence and poise.
Ideal for display on a mantel, console, or as part of a curated collection, these vases bring with them not just beauty, but history.
A unique opportunity to own an original pair of 19th-century opaline glassworks, preserved in stunning condition.
