Vintage French Jadeite Milk Glass Cup & Saucer

This opalescent jadeite cup and saucer was produced in France in the late 1950s, crafted in a delicate swirl style that captures the era’s fascination with art glass. Light green milk glass with a subtle glow, it reflects the tradition of mid-century French makers who drew inspiration from earlier art deco opalescent glass.

The effect is achieved through slow cooling and layered glass techniques, giving the surface its soft, translucent shimmer. Each piece carries unique variations in tone and finish, part of its handmade character and history.

A collectible example of mid-century European glassware, this set adds both charm and heritage to the table.
