"Magnificent Table Center Cup In Lined Opaline, France Circa 1840"
Beautiful centerpiece bowl in soapy blue and white lined opaline, decoration in reserve on a soapy background of medallions with floral decoration in the style of Jean François Robert, the body of the bowl richly enhanced with golden arabesques, French work around 1840. A note: Our cup bears an enamelled mark under its base, we have not been able to identify this mark which strangely resembles that of the Vincennes or Sèvres factory, according to our research Jean François Robert would have produced opalines in a workshop in Sèvres , is this the hallmark of this workshop? This cup of exemplary quality is in superb condition! ** thickness of the opaline at the heel 1 cm.
