Jewellery box (2) - Two small opaline Blue jewelry caskets (weight 267 g) with a frame in gilded metal.

Opaline glass jewellery boxes combine delicate craftsmanship with decorative appeal. Opaline glass is a type of semi-translucent, milky glass prized for its soft, opalescent glow achieved through controlled glassmaking processes developed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Small caskets or boxes made from opaline glass were often used to store precious items like jewelry, reflecting both utility and elegance. The addition of gilded metal frames enhances the luxury and structural integrity of these boxes, melding metalwork with fine glass artistry typical of European decorative arts. These boxes serve as attractive display pieces and functional storage with historical associations to vanity and decor culture. Collectors often seek opaline boxes for their beauty, craftsmanship, and the charming interplay between glass and metal elements.
