Mini Chandelier (Uranium) French Antique with Maker's Mark, Portieux

Hello,

This is a small chandelier from Portieux Vallerystal.

Portieux is a long-established French glass manufacturer dating back to the 18th century. It is a brand comparable to Baccarat, known for its exceptionally transparent glass.

They are particularly famous for their blue and milky opal iridescent glass, and also produced a lot of uranium glass.

Their pressed glass is highly popular due to its high craftsmanship and color usage, and is traded at high prices among collectors.

The pink drop was originally a piece I owned. It is a salmon pink frosted glass.
When a black light is shone on it, it reacts similarly to the shade and turns red.
Could it be selenium glass?
It is a mysterious drop that glows a pale pink in natural light and becomes more transparent when a light is turned on.

This glass,
when light hits it, it emits a jewel-like sparkle
around it, and when a light is turned on,
it is so captivating that you can forget time just by looking at it.
This chandelier is truly mesmerizing.

The frosted texture is cool and might be nice for the upcoming season. It's also a lovely piece to add color to your room.

Furthermore, the rounded shades and drops complement each other very well, creating a synergistic effect that maximizes their individual brilliance.

Simple yet elegant, the deep-colored shade is like looking into a deep lake, sparkling like a jewel. (*^o^*)

??It can be attached if you have an E17 or B22 socket fixture (with a ring) with a 2.7 cm diameter, a hanging fixture, or a lamp stand. ?

The condition is beautiful with no scratches, but there is one area that looks like an indentation.
As this is very old glass, please understand that there may be fine, delicate scratches.
Please check the photos before purchasing. Thank you for your understanding of antiques.

The unique glow of uranium gives it an impression close to vintage glass.

This is a rare mini shade and chandelier that doesn't come on the market often. How about adding it to your collection? ????

Please enjoy the light that combines uranium and advanced glass technology. (*^^*)

Thank you for looking.

Inner diameter: approx. 2.75 cm
