This exquisite antique French dish pairs a rich bronze framework with a “bulle de savon” opaline glass insert—so named for its lustrous, soap-bubble–like translucence. Dating to th e Belle Époque or early 20th century, the bronze rim is finely chased with scrolling foliate motifs, while the opaline bowl offers a soft, milky glow that beautifully diffuses light. Use it as an elegant catchall on a vanity, a delicate fruit or candy dish, or simply as a centerpiece to showcase its harmonious blend of materials and timeless French artistry. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 5.5"dia x 9.25"L x 1.5"H Show more
