Storyteller:
It was always a pleasure for Madame Dupont to host extravagant dinner parties, and each one managed to top the last. She was quite meticulous about how her dishes looked when served, and she chose each component with care.
When browsing a quaint Parisian antique shop, Madame Dupont came upon a hand-made French Moser Opaline cut glass serving dish. There was a magnificent dish in the shape of a flower that floated on the surface of the glass, decorated with tiny white and gold enameled flowers.
A brilliant piece of art, Madame Dupont knew immediately that it would be the showstopper of her next dinner party. Her amazement was well-founded when she learned that it had been handcrafted in France some time between 1850 and 1920 and yet looked immaculate.
As she got ready for her party, Madame Dupont couldn't help but appreciate the serving dish and think about how much regard its previous owners must have felt for it. Erosion of the dazzling gold over time contributed to its ancient beauty, making it a unique attraction that would impress even the most cynical of her guests.
When the big night finally here, Madame Dupont proudly set out her signature meal. Once her guests arrived, they were all fascinated by the magnificent serving dish, marveling at its intricate design and wondering how old it must be.
As the evening progressed, Madame Dupont's guests ate their dinner and passed the serving dish from person to person, oohing and aahing over its exquisiteness. As her guests praised her wonderful dinner, Madame Dupont felt a surge of pride.
Nevertheless, as the evening came to a close, Madame Dupont felt a pang of melancholy. She felt terrible at the prospect of giving up the gorgeous serving dish that had been such an integral part of her evening.
Madame Dupont glanced at the dish, which was still shining on the table, as she gathered the filthy plates. She stretched out to touch the artifact, and an odd connection to it came over her.
One of her visitors suddenly made a comment. "That plate, Madame Dupont, is a piece of art. I was wondering if there was any chance you may sell it to me. It would be a great privilege to add it to my library."
A moment of hesitation passed between Madame Dupont's lips. She had never considered giving the dish away before, but now she was interested in doing so.
Finally, Madame Dupont decided to sell the dish to her visitor for a substantial sum of money. Bittersweet relief washed over Madame Dupont as the guest walked away carrying the specimen. Even though she no longer owned the dish, she had no doubt that whoever had purchased it would treat it with the utmost care.
And when Madame Dupont put away the last of the dishes and went to bed, she reflected with gratitude on the many happy times the dish had brought her and the many happy times that it would bring others in the years to come.

- Single Goblet Shaped, Gilded and Painted White Opaline Glass Luster, Late 19th CLocated in Queens Village, NYThis luster takes the form of a goblet, and it is covered in stunning Islamic and Arabic motifs. There's a good chance that the product was made with the Turkish market in mind. It was created in France between the years 1850 and 1920, but the exact year is unknown. This particular luster has not even the slightest chip or crack in it. Because the artwork is not burned into the glass and some of it has been scratched out through the years, we are unable to come to a consensus regarding how old this item is. The gold and the paintings have both lost some of their color and sparkle as a result of the passage of time. We are selling this beautiful luster on different platforms; please check availability before purchasing. More photos may be provided if necessary. Storyteller: Amina loved browsing through antique shops, always on the lookout for unique treasures to add to her collection. One day, she came across a stunning luster goblet with intricate Arabic designs covering it. Amina was immediately drawn to its beauty and knew she had to have it. As she examined the goblet, she noticed that it was in perfect condition, with no chips or cracks, and the designs seemed to be etched into the glass. She wondered about its age, and after some research, she discovered that it was made in France between 1850 and 1920, most likely for the Turkish market. However, the exact year of its creation remained a mystery. Excited to show off her new find, Amina invited her friends over for a small gathering. As they admired the goblet's unique decorations and shimmering gold, Amina noticed her friend Ali studying it intently. When she asked if everything was alright, Ali shared a memory from his childhood: his grandfather's ancient Arabic...Category
