Early 20th Century Portieux Vallerysthal Aqua Blue French Perfume Decanter

Gorgeous Portieux Vallerysthal AQUA BLUE perfume bottle. (Other than cover photo, the others don’t do it justice: it’s a wonderful turquoise-aqua blue vs faded color shown in pics.) Can also be used as a vase, decanter or for apothecary items.

Most likely from the 1920–30s, this lovely antique will draw attention wherever used. Perfect addition to your PV collection or for a lover of all things, aqua or Tiffany blue. Stunning!

The Portieux Vallerysthal Company produced beautiful opaline glass and has a complex history. Under the patronage of Duke Leopold of Lorraine, Francois Magnien founded the company in 1705 in Vosges, France, close to the raw materials needed to make glass.

Vallerystahl began their glass production in 1836. French and Bohemian glass workers created a stunning array of opaline and decorative glass which was coveted and sold very well. When in 1870 this area of France became part of Germany, the Vallerysthal company purchased Portieux and formed Portieux Vallerystahl to be able to keep selling their pieces to the French clients as well as their new German market.
