Crafted from frosted white opaline (satin) glass, this piece features an incredibly detailed hand-painted portrait medallion of a lady, surrounded by intricately raised pink enamel scrolls and encrusted with brilliant red glass jewels (rhinestones). The reverse side features a delicate hand-painted four-point star motif.
Condition Report:
• Overall State: Excellent antique / museum-quality collectible condition.

• Decoration: Pristine and complete. Remarkably, all original applied red glass jewels are present and intact (which is exceptionally rare for pieces of this age).
• Wear: The glass body and enamel work are perfect. There is only minor, honest wear to the gold gilt along the top rim due to age and gentle handling over the decades.
Note on Authenticity: Inside the upper rim/neck, there is a rough, unpolished pontil scar. This is not damage or a broken piece—it is a traditional manufacturing mark from the glassblower's pontil rod, proving this item is a genuine, authentic piece of 19th-century hand-blown art glass.
