Opaline "Bulle de Savon" Trinket Box (Bronze or Brass Mount)

Hi everybody,

I just can't stop posting
This is another item I bought last week, I just haven't received it yet,
but I will this week... And of course I'll post some better pictures then.

This one:
*Opaline "Bulle de Savon" Trinket Box
*White Glass
*Bronze or Brass Mount (I'm not really sure)
*Height: 9 cm/ 3.54 inch.

I've bought, posted AND sold a similar one a couple of weeks ago...
That one was a vintage one, and it seems like this one has a better quality mount.

Although when I look at the actual antique ones, they seems to have a bronze (mostly ormolu) mount, and the glass doesn't look thàt thin, even though it's "Bulle de Savon", which means: (Soap) Bubble, referring to it's thinness.

Mine's still pretty though.
Just not sure (yet) whether it's antique or vintage.
Plus I believe it's French..


Thank you very much again!

Pretty color!
I think it is Italian, vintage, and used for containing cigarettes or trinket box

Well, I was just checking when it qould be delivered, and found out it already was, so I just picked it up at my neighbours. Now, unfortunately it's IS vintage. I can see that from the mount/frame. The other one I had also was French, circa 1930.
