Opaline glass, a distinctive decorative style popular in 19th-century France, is characterized by its semi-opaque, milky white appearance. These cachepots are unmarked, which is typical of antique French opaline items—many of which may have originally carried hand-painted signatures or paper labels that have faded or worn off over time. We have seen similar opaline pieces described as Baccarat.

Please note that the topiaries shown in the images are for illustration purposes only and are not included.
