€1,200.00
Tax included
An important opaline glass bowl, known as "soap glass" or "soap bubble glass," dating from the Charles X period, remarkable for its delicately iridescent transparency and elegant bluish hue. This superb antique glass piece from the first half of the 19th century exemplifies the refinement of French glassmaking around 1820. Resting on an elegant antique-style foot, this mouth-blown bowl features a magnificent undulating blue neck, crafted with a blowpipe and tools using the traditional techniques of the great 19th-century glass workshops. Soap glass, particularly sought after by collectors, captivates with its subtle reflections and its light, soap-bubble-like appearance. This important decorative bowl is a rare and ideal addition to an antique glass collection. This antique bowl can be paired with our selection of antique crystal and glass, as well as our other antique decorative objects available in our gallery.
