Opaline Glass Bud Vase — Ivory Ground with Hand-Painted Floral Bouquet & Saffron Bands — Set of 2

A bud vase of delicate opaline glass, its milky ivory body carrying the soft luminosity characteristic of the material — neither fully opaque nor quite translucent, but somewhere between the two, the light passing through the walls with a gentle diffusion that gives the piece a warmth no ceramic can replicate. The form is elegant in its simplicity: a wide, low bell-shaped base rising through a narrow waist to a flared cylindrical neck, the proportions considered and unhurried.

The decoration is hand-painted directly onto the glass in the manner of the European decorative tradition: a loose bouquet of summer flowers — orange dahlias, pink blooms, green leaves, and small scattered sprigs — covers the body with the freshness of a piece painted with genuine botanical pleasure rather than mechanical repetition. The neck is banded in saffron orange stripe and dot motifs, and a narrow dotted border runs along the foot ring, framing the composition at both ends.

Charming individually, these vases are offered as a pair — best displayed together on a dressing table, windowsill, or shelf, where their lightness and colour bring an immediate warmth to the space around them.
