FAQs

Clean gently with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth without chemical detergents, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the delicate enamel and gilt details.

Antique glass provides a sophisticated accent when placed on open shelving, dressing tables, or coffee table trays, introducing a vibrant splash of colour and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic weight, hand-finished polished pontil marks on the base, subtle variations in colour distribution, and hand-applied gilding that shows appropriate signs of age.

These items were crafted from lead glass compounded with opacifying agents such as bone ash or tin oxide, often hand-blown and finished with hand-painted gilt enamel decorations.

Opaline glass is a type of opaque or semi-translucent glass that gained immense popularity in 19th-century Europe, particularly in France during the reigns of Charles X and Napoleon III.
