French Pink Opaline Vanity Set, 4 Pieces, France, Circa 1845–1865

French Pink Opaline Vanity Set, 4 Pieces France, Circa 1845–1865   A rare and beautifully preserved mid 19th century French pink opaline vanity set, comprising four matching pieces in classic baluster and lidded jar forms. Originally used for perfume, powder, and dressing table essentials, sets like this were staples of refined Second Empire interiors. The glass displays a true antique blush opaline tone, soft, milky, and richly saturated, with the weight and subtle translucency that distinguish early hand finished examples from later reproductions. The color is exceptionally romantic and highly sought after, especially in a cohesive grouping like this. Each piece reflects the elegance of the period, designed not only for function but for display, meant to sit atop a dressing table alongside fine brushes, jewelry, and personal effects. Sets of this age and quality are increasingly difficult to find, particularly when multiple original pieces remain together.   Condition Good antique condition overall One piece shows a small rim chip, consistent with age and early glass use Light surface wear throughout No cracks observed   A rare opportunity to own a true early French opaline set with beautiful color, presence, and history.
