A superb tall near-matching set of decanter and covered jar rising 9.5" with a tall jar cover in place. The 2 are suitable for vanity or perhaps absinth decanter and sugar cube bowl, which is likely the original intention. Entirely hand made and decorated, they would date to Napoleon III era, c.1850-70s. Found in France, it is possible they're Bohemian, as similar works originate from artisans in both countries. The numbered stopper and decanter affirm they are fully original and complete. An unpolished pontil (bottom) is notable. Gilded ruffle rim. Napoleon III era opaline. Found in France. Full measurements noted on the photos.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, no chips or cracks, no hairlines or notable loss to the raised enamel painting on either one, which features birds and nests with the flowers - so appealing. Recently acquired with the others shown in final group photo - the others sold separately. Beautiful for display or table use.
