<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 260710, member: 5170&quot;]Hey Cluttered:</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not able to take more photos at the moment, but the handle is decorated with stylized acanthus leaves with a small urn at the top. Both are Renaissance/Classical in inspiration. No thorns.</p><p><br /></p><p>My research indicates that opaline glass reached it&#039;s apex of popularity from 1850-1870, although it can be found both earlier and later. Thus my guess of 1860. However, acanthus leaves were one of the principle motifs of the Renaissance Revival, so 1870 or, yes, even 1880 might make more sense.&nbsp; Thanks so much for your input!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
