Lavendar Vanity Set
French opaline glass vanity or dresser set - mid-to-late 19th century (Napoleon III/Second Empire period 1860-1880)
Lavender opaline - more rare/less common than blue, white, or pink - often required the addition of manganese or rare earth minerals during the glassmaking process, which was more costly and less stable; subtle elegance
Soft Milky hue and lustrous polish
Hand-painted gilded garlands, leaves, and bands (some wearing off) - applied white enamel medallions in rosette form
