Portieux Vallerysthal PV France Art Deco Blue Opaline Glass Chalice Goblet 10

Made in France from the late 18th century through to the end of the 19th century, authentic opaline glass is art glass of the highest quality. Colors range from white, pink, yellow, and green to my own favorite, robin's egg blue. Many opaline pieces were made as souvenirs, boxes, sugar caskets, egg boxes for holding jewelry or showing off a gold pocket watch. Others were useful objects of grander size such as covered candy containers, vases, urns, and compotes. But much opaline was created as objet d'art, admired just for their sheer beauty.

There are no visible chips or scratches. This piece is 10" high with an opening of 5".
