    Hi everybody,

    This one I don't really have much questions about.
    I just want to show them to you.
    I have bought them a couple of weeks ago.

    These are 2 very beautiful opalcrystal vases.
    Nicely decorated, but most of all very nicely shaped.

    The glass itself is opal crystal, with a soapy look.

    The painting is most likely to be done by "Jean-Baptiste Desvignes".

    Made in France, approximately 1820. (Restoration Period/ Charles X)


    What gives these vases the extra special personal value, is the opalescent effect, when holding it in front of a light source.

    I have and had opaline with this opalescent effect before, but due to the depths in the shape of the glass, these vases are absolutely something else!


    I figured you would definately love these ;)

    Yes it definately is. This is one of the examples why I fell in just love with this opaline glass. The broken piece of the foot doesn't even really bother me. :p

    Nice! The chip wouldn't bother anyone - the poor dears are the best part of 200 years old, and anyone would have a nick or two at that age.
