Beautiful Antique French Blue Opaline Glass Vallerysthal Portieux Candlestick pair rare to find in this color. Made in France, in the Bavards pattern, also known as Diving Dolphin & Snake. Intricately detailed with dolphins, cattails and lily pads on the base. To find these with original crystal bobeches is delightful! {they sit on top so you can take them off and use or not.}
A coiled snake is wrapped around the columns, the leaf and berries at the top add interest, each candlestick holds a single taper candle in its sculpted flower-inspired cup. In excellent condition, in that hard to find blue color and it is a stunning addition to your opaline or French glass collection.
