This exquisite 19th-century glass box represents the pinnacle of decorative glasswork, either originating from the Bohemian Barfatan tradition or crafted from French blue opaline glass. The box’s vivid turquoise hue captures light with a soft, ethereal glow, showcasing the refined technique and artistry associated with high-quality glass production of the era.
The surface is adorned with elaborate gilt enameling, featuring intricate floral motifs and ornamental patterns, applied by hand. This gilding not only enhances the elegance of the box but also highlights the precision and skill of the artisan. The hinged lid, often found with a delicate clasp or fitting, demonstrates the box's functionality as a luxurious keepsake container for jewelry or small treasures.
