A striking antique French blue opaline glass box dating to the mid 19th century, circa 1860. The rich turquoise blue opaline glass has a luminous depth and smooth polished surface that beautifully reflects light. The domed top rectangular form is accented by a simple metal mount, giving the piece a refined and elegant appearance.

French opaline glass was highly prized during the 19th century for its vibrant color and silky finish. Boxes like this were often used to store jewelry, gloves, or personal treasures and were popular decorative objects on dressing tables and vanities.

This example has wonderful presence and color, making it an excellent addition to a collection of antique French glass or decorative boxes.
