Fused sphere surface decoration query.
Ekimp:
Yes, pleased with that :)
Lustrousstone:
Not wanting to pee on the parade but that kind of assumes Vincendeau is correct; 1998 is a long while ago in the knowledge business, so unless she had access to a catalogue...

It does ... and it is. I understood that book is the most recent authority on French opalines. I don't have the book though so I'm not sure what museum access or reference sources Vincendeau used. That said, Cristallerie Saint-Louis and Baccarat are both still going concerns so presumably have archives and recipes.
I have Baguiers et Verres a Boire (Darnis) which is recent but it's goblets, tazzas and little tumblers so not covered in there and nothing like the vase to compare.
Launay Hautin covers up to 1841 on Pressglas-korrespondenz

The Corning reference Les Opalines and Christine Vincendeau on these:

The more recent book by Leon Darnis is also really interesting. Covers pieces from late 1700s to mid 1800s. It shows many of the very early opalines from Montcenis and Bercy etc as well as a really broad range of colours from all the French makers - tazzas and tumblers and some goblets.
The density of the glass is added to each description as well as noting whether with or without lead. Also talks about the fluorescence colour of the glass by each maker. My French is non-existent so it's hard to translate the information in the book though. I think it's been used to attempt to categorise them into which maker they came from. Some pieces are identified. Others state 'Attribution'. Hundreds of good photographs.

And some more an interesting information here see Seite 6 von 17 - needs to be translated. Re the Amic, Manoni and Vincendeau books.
