This beautiful Mid-Century set of twelve French green opaline uranium glass demitasse cups and matching saucers embodies the elegance and refinement of post-war French tableware design. Crafted in France during the 1950s, the set features a soft translucent jade-green coloration characteristic of fine opaline glass production, creating a sophisticated and luminous presentation. Each cup displays a gracefully rounded silhouette complemented by a distinctive loop handle, while the matching saucers feature elegant molded shell-form detailing that adds texture and visual interest.
