Gorgeous, rare -shaped, 19th-century aqua blue opaline glass vase in excellent condition. Hand-blown and most likely Portieux Vallerysthal. When held up to light it shows its translucency and red or pinkish tint—a tell-tail sign of real opaline.
The Portieux Vallerysthal Company produced beautiful opaline glass and has a complex history. Under the patronage of Duke Leopold of Lorraine, Francois Magnien founded the company in 1705, in Vosges, France, close to the raw materials needed to make glass.
Vallerystahl began their glass production in 1836. French and Bohemian glass workers created a stunning array of opaline and decorative glass which was coveted and sold very well. When in 1870 this area of France became part of Germany, the Vallerysthal company purchased Portieux and formed Portieux Vallerystahl to be able to keep selling their pieces to the French clients as well as their new German market. less
