Antique Pair of French Napoleon III Blue Opaline Vases with Gilt Bronze Mounts

France, Circa 1850–1870

Heavy weighing 2lbs 3.8oz Each

An exceptional pair of French blue opaline glass vases mounted in finely chased gilt bronze, dating to the Napoleon III period.

Each vase features a bold trumpet form in richly saturated opaque blue opaline, framed by dramatic floral ormolu mounts and raised on sculptural Rococo Revival bases. The mounts are substantial and architectural — fully integrated into the design and beautifully detailed.

French opaline was decorative art created for grand interiors, and this true pair offers striking color, symmetry, and presence.

France, 19th century

Excellent antique condition with light wear consistent with age.
