    Does anyone recognize this pair of opalescent or milk glass vases? I believe the pair to be Italian but unsigned. Measures 7.25" height. Really nice fire to the opal when held in light. 20170628_174643_resized (640x605).jpg 20170628_174637_resized (480x640).jpg 20170628_174648_resized (421x640).jpg

    Wish I could help - they are quite beautiful. The French also made some very nice opal glass.

    It would be large for Sabino anyway. At least here in the States we usually just see small figurines. But I believe there were other French manufacturer's of opal glass. Sabino gets the credit because they sign their pieces. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Sabino's work. Their opal is a little "gaudy" to me. I think the opal in your pieces is more subtle.

    Antique? if you consider early 20th century, certainly not older than that.
