White Opaline Egg Cup With Garlands, Flowers, Bows, And Gilding, Charles X, 19th Century

Egg cup on a small stand made of milky white opaline glass (possibly Baccarat), with hand-painted decoration featuring colorful bouquets of flowers forming garlands with bows and ribbons, the border finely accented with a gold fillet, dating from the Charles X period in the 19th century.

This egg cup is in good condition and of very fine quality. It is entirely representative of objects from the Charles X period (1824–1830), as evidenced by the use of dense, milky opaline, the decorative style (flowers, ribbons), and the presence of the gold fillet. A superb, refined little piece from the 1820s–30s.

Please note: a minor imperfection (a small, old crack) at the neck (see the last two photos), which has been restored; some wear to the paint on the decorations in places; and signs of age—see photos.
