4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

I really love the this carving

Wear to the black cloth covered hard board covers but sturdy and sound

but what en envelop

The weaving on it seems pretty complicated to this novice

Antique French Portieux Vallerysthal Faceted Opaline Glass Vessel with Gold Stars nine pins 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"I don't usually pay much attention to glass, but I saw this and swooned; to my eye a completely lovely thing, with opaline glass the more perfectly radiant, otherworldly sort of surface to bear a field of hand painted golden stars. In perfect condition, this just feels like a gift of a thing. Early 20th c. I believe, with "France P. V" painted in gold on the underside. 2 3 4 t x 2 1 4 w and in excellent condition.
