This exquisite antique blue opaline Bristol glass vase features a finely etched depiction of a Roman goddess, elegantly rendered on its surface. The vase is crafted from opaline glass, known for its milky translucence and rich, vibrant blue hue, which beautifully complements the delicate etching. The intricate design of the Roman goddess, with her classical drapery and serene expression, reflects the high level of artistry and craftsmanship typical of 19th-century Bristol glassworks. This piece is a perfect example of the fusion of neoclassical themes with Victorian decorative arts.

Bristol glass, produced in the English city of Bristol during the 18th and 19th centuries, became highly regarded for its beauty and craftsmanship. Opaline glass, in particular, was prized for its opalescent quality and its ability to be intricately engraved or etched. The depiction of a Roman goddess on this vase reflects the neoclassical revival that was popular in Victorian England, where ancient Greco-Roman themes were frequently incorporated into decorative objects.
