SOLD
Found at market, this lovely Antique French Pink Opaline Vase shimmers with winsome romance. Artfully crafted from lustrous pink opaline glass, the graceful silhouette of this enchanting vase beautifully showcases the vessel's hand-applied enamel and hand-painted details.
Spanning the prominent front surface, an exuberant botanical motif depicts a sweet bird gently alighting on a slender branch, wings aloft. A profusion of royal blue forget-me-nots punctuates the scene in contrast to the vase's soft palette of natural tones, including hues of tender green and burnt umber, along with creamy white and sunny yellow. Encircling the rim, a delicate geometric pattern of crisp dots playfully juxtaposes the nature scene below, a subtle nod to the era's popular chinoiserie aesthetic.
Soft and feminine and ready for spring, this bright pink vase with its romantic patina is sure to create a rosy focal point whether gracing an antique bureau, elegant vanity or bedside table. Promising to bring its lively cheer to any setting, we are confident it will showcase every blossom with verve and panache!
Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. 6"H x 3.5" at widest point.
