French pink opaline glass bonbonnière – Hand-painted floral decoration – Late 19th century Description Elegant French bonbonnière or decorative box from the late 19th century, made of pink opaline glass and decorated with floral motifs in gold and green tones. The piece features a meticulous floral decoration distributed over the entire surface, including the lid and body, with hand-painted motifs and gold details. The lid is topped by a small central knob decorated with the same floral motif, creating a very characteristic ornamental ensemble of European decorative glass production from the late 19th century. Comparable pink opaline pieces from this period exist with floral and gilded decoration. Given its format and features, it could have been used as a bonbonnière, a box for small objects, a jewelry box, or a decorative vanity piece.
