This sumptuous bowl features a striking contrast between the two-tone opaline, in luminous shades of pale green and deep red, and a rich, finely chiseled gilt bronze mount.

The sculpted handles, in the form of stylized scrolls, add an additional touch of elegance while reinforcing the functional character of the piece. Resting on an elaborate base, this bowl embodies the perfect alliance between the mastery of glasswork and the meticulousness of the goldsmiths of the period, making it an exceptional decorative piece. It testifies to the taste for luxury and detail that characterized the decorative art of this period.
