Baccarat: Blue And White Honeycomb Opaline Bottle, Charles X Period

BACCARAT: Magnificent blue and white opaline bottle with honeycomb-shaped cut decoration, Charles X period. This superb piece with a gradient of polychromy ranging from blue to white fascinates with its ability to absorb light and to make reflections reminiscent of those of the ocean and its waves spring forth. The different “layers” of cut crystal give an extremely advanced depth and relief to this piece which highlights the quality of the craftsmanship of 19th century French glassmaking. Its ability to shine depending on its location and exposure allows its owner to rediscover it perpetually depending on the climate and the light. Height = 12 cm Neck diameter = 2.5 cm Base diameter = 3 cm
