A striking antique French blue opaline glass box dating to the mid 19th century, circa 1860. The rich turquoise blue opaline glass has a luminous depth and smooth polished surface that beautifully reflects light. The domed top rectangular form is accented by a simple metal mount, giving the piece a refined and elegant appearance.

This example has wonderful presence and color, making it an excellent addition to a collection of antique French glass or decorative boxes.
