Jade Opaline Bonbonnière Signed PORTIEUX

Delicate footed candy dish, this piece is emblematic of the craftsmanship of the Lorraine manufacturers. It stands out for its superb "Jadeite" hue, a soft and milky green particularly sought after by collectors.

The pressed-molded glass features a rich relief decoration, blending acanthus leaves, scrolls, and beaded friezes, all topped with a lid with a "pine cone" handle. Signed "PORTIEUX" in relief on the inside of the foot, this object will bring a touch of freshness and old-fashioned romance to a display case.

Originally designed for confections, it will find a very elegant second life as a sugar bowl or as a small jewelry box on a dresser.

Overall beautiful appearance. However, for complete transparency: a small chip is present on the inner edge of the neck, barely visible once the lid is placed.
