A striking large French opaline urn in the coveted Bulle de Savon (“soap bubble”) finish, mounted with elegant gilt bronze swan handles and raised on a neoclassical pedestal base.

The luminous opaline glass exhibits the soft, milky glow that has made French opaline so beloved by collectors for generations. Delicate gilt bronze mounts in the form of swans frame the vessel, lending a graceful Empire-inspired silhouette that is equally at home in both traditional and collected interiors.

Beautiful displayed as a standalone decorative object, on a mantel, console, bibliothèque, or incorporated into a larger collection of French opaline and decorative arts.

A timeless piece that effortlessly blends romance, refinement, and old-world craftsmanship.
