A rare and elegant pair of white opaline vases, distinguished by their architectural form with a constricted ring.
This slender, carefully proportioned silhouette lends the set a striking decorative presence while maintaining perfect restraint.
The ornamentation, particularly refined, harmoniously combines several stylistic registers characteristic of the Restoration period. The central section is highlighted by a frieze of gilded Greek key patterns, drawn from the Neoclassical repertoire, framed by wide royal blue bands highlighted with gold, creating an elegant contrast with the milky white of the opaline.
The upper and lower sections are adorned with gilded friezes of Neo-Gothic inspiration, featuring stylized and rhythmic motifs, reflecting the learned taste of this period for a masterful reinterpretation of medieval styles. The entire decoration is executed with great finesse and perfect graphic coherence.
The opaline glass, a uniform white with a slight translucency, is of exceptional quality. Beneath the bases, handwritten numbers painted in gold can be seen, corresponding to old workshop markings, likely used for pairing or tracking production.
