Pieces like this were produced during a period when French glassmakers perfected the art of opaline, creating a distinctive milky translucency that softly diffuses light and gives the surface an almost glowing quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is elegant and balanced, with a gently flared rim and rounded body, transitioning from a pale milky blue into a richer more saturated tone at the base. The color variation is especially striking in natural light, where the glass reveals its depth and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original label is a rare and wonderful detail, reading “Opaline Véritable,” meaning genuine opaline, and accompanied by a registered mark. Labels like this were often lost over time, making this example particularly special and increasingly difficult to find intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpaline glass was both decorative and functional, used in French interiors throughout the 19th century for vases, scent bottles, and decorative objects. Today, pieces like this remain highly collectible for their color, craftsmanship, and timeless presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simple and beautiful example that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah \u0026 Elijah Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44181980282940,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4827\/2700\/files\/IMG_7986.jpg?v=1775693635","url":"https:\/\/www.sarahandelijahantiques.com\/products\/antique-french-blue-opaline-glass-vase-with-original-opaline-veritable-label-circa-1880-1910","provider":"Sarah \u0026 Elijah Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
