Description

This charming antique French opaline glass ewer features delicate gold leaf detailing and turquoise accents, a style typical of 19th-century French glassmakers such as Baccarat. The piece showcases the elegant design and craftsmanship of the late 1800s, but it is important to note that it has sustained considerable damage over time. Condition: The foot of the ewer is missing, and there are visible signs of repair, including rivet restoration. The glass itself is intact but shows wear consistent with its age, including some surface imperfections. The gilded detailing and turquoise beads remain charming but have some loss due to age and restoration. Key Features: French opaline glass with gold leaf and turquoise decoration Attributed to Baccarat, Circa 1880 (though unmarked) Antique condition with missing foot and noticeable repairs Ideal for those who appreciate the history and artistry of antique glass, even in imperfect condition This ewer, despite its condition, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship of a bygone era and remains an interesting object for collectors of antique glassware.
