French Blue Opaline Vanity Dish with Gilt Brass Rim and Leaf Detail

A luminous French opaline glass dish in a striking shade of soft blue, measuring approximately 4 3/4” in diameter and 1 3/4” tall, finished with a warm gilt brass rim and delicate leaf detail. The underside reveals a beautiful milky white opacity—an elegant contrast that speaks to its craftsmanship and depth.

The glass shows the subtle character of hand-blown work, with natural variations and gentle movement beneath the surface—hallmarks collectors look for in true opaline.

Perfectly sized for a dressing table, bedside, or bath, this piece would have once held small personal treasures—rings, pins, or scent pastilles.

The contrast between the cool blue glass and aged brass gives it that quiet, collected elegance we’re always drawn to.
