Bulle De Savon Opaline Lidded Compote

This is an Opaline Cristal de Sèvres, Création L. Seiler, generally dating to the mid-20th century, specifically the 1940s to 1960s. Pieces produced during this era often combine elegant, cut-crystal forms with neoclassical or Louis XV-style gilt-bronze mounts. Most items bearing the L. Seiler designation are identified by a paper or foil sticker that reads: Opaline Cristal de Sèvres, Création L. Seiler. Because these labels often fall off or wear away over time, loose bases or unbranded examples of these crystal bowls and vases are quite common.
