Chalice, crystal cup with a visual effect reminiscent of opaline
The term "opaline crystal" is often misused in everyday language, particularly in the antique and second-hand market, which makes it technically incorrect. This is a commercial simplification that misleads many people. Perhaps an article on this subject could be interesting... to see!
*
Let's get back to this magnificent cup, a chalice in opalescent crystal of remarkable elegance, with a timeless charm and at the same time refined in its design and of beautiful quality. It probably dates from the 1950s to the 1970s, as evidenced by its sober and uniform style, moving away from the decorations of an earlier era, while remaining functional. Honestly, despite my extensive research and contacts, I cannot say where it comes from. Perhaps from Scandinavian, Czechoslovakian or Italian glassworks? In any case, its purity and subtle luminous effects, such as opalescence, are undeniable.
*
The characteristics of this cup are revealed by its slightly cold bluish nuances and its yellowish and warm touches, as well as by its milky but above all translucent appearance when exposed to light. Its white color, similar to snow, is pleasantly soft, reflecting a beautiful shine. The cup rests on a charming, flared pedestal, with a smaller diameter at the base that widens elegantly. It recalls the style of the Sèvres crystal works.
*
Installed as a decorative object, particularly on a festive table, it will undoubtedly attract attention. However, I advise you not to use it as a pocket emptier which could damage the crystal. It shows very slight wear, barely perceptible and impossible to photograph, it is so discreet. This cup is in excellent condition.
*
A true testimony to the craftsmanship of an era, with modern and minimalist lines, ideal for collectors, enthusiasts or simply for those who appreciate a refined lifestyle.
