Antique French Cobalt Blue Opaline Perfume Bottle (Flacon de Parfum)

Striking antique French opaline glass perfume bottle in an intense cobalt blue tone, richly decorated with hand-applied gilt detailing. The bottle features a sculptural baluster body with a tall, elegant neck and flared rim, finished with delicate raised gilt dot and foliate banding. The softly luminous, satin-matte surface is characteristic of true French opaline glass produced for luxury vanity and toilette use in the late 19th century.

Large-scale opaline perfume bottles of this quality were designed for prominent display on dressing tables and in boudoirs, serving both functional and decorative purposes. The saturated color and refined gilding reflect the high level of craftsmanship associated with French decorative glass of the Victorian era.
