Antique Blue Opaline Hand Vase – Portieux Vallerysthal

An exquisite, collector-grade antique "Main au Cornet" (Hand holding a Cornucopia) vase in molded turquoise-blue opaline glass. This iconic piece was crafted by the prestigious French glassworks company Portieux Vallerysthal and dates back to the 1920s–1930s era. The design features a beautifully detailed hand holding an elegant cornucopia horn, topped with a dramatic, delicate ruffled rim. Condition: In pristine, flawless antique condition. It is exceptionally rare to find this specific model without any chips, cracks, flea bites, or internal fractures along the thin, wavy ruffled rim or the base. Please note a microscopic black speck embedded within the glossy surface layer on the back. This is an original factory carbon/ash inclusion from the wood/coal-fired glass furnaces of the era—a completely standard manufacturing artifact that serves as excellent proof of its authenticity and historical age. Clean factory mold seam lines are visible down the sides. Styling Ideas: This versatile statement piece elevates many interiors. For a Classic French Brocante look, style it on a fireplace mantel or marble console with antique books. Its vibrant turquoise hue also adds a stunning pop of color to Minimalist spaces when placed solo on a sleek shelf. For a Boho aesthetic, display it alongside textured wood and indoor greenery with a single dried flower stem to beautifully catch the light. • Height (H): 22 cm. • Width (W): 12 cm. • Depth (D): 12 cm.
