Pair of late 19th century jade green opaline and gilded brass vases
An important pair of baluster vases in jade-colored opaline with gilded brass mounts, with shoulders decorated with laurel garlands topped by an openwork gallery surrounding the neck, the opening of which is highlighted by a gilded brass snap ring.

Each vase rests on a stepped circular base chased with foliage.
