1960s Large Val Saint Lambert vase

Item: 1960s Large Val Saint Lambert vase

Product id: 2668

Brand: Val Saint Lambert

Description:

This is a large, hand-blown crystal vase from the renowned Belgian crystal manufacturer, Val Saint Lambert. The vase's sculptural, flowing form, with its broad, flaring rim and a spiraling, ribbed body, is a hallmark of the company's artistic direction in the mid-20th century.

The striking feature of this piece is the 'doublé' or 'cased' crystal technique, where a layer of colored glass is cased over a clear crystal base. In this case, a rich, deep amethyst or fuchsia-pink layer is expertly applied and then cut away in a swirling, vertical pattern, revealing the dazzling clear crystal beneath. This technique not only adds a vibrant depth of color but also allows the crystal's clarity and brilliance to be highlighted as light refracts through the different layers.

The vase is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and timeless elegance for which Val Saint Lambert is celebrated. The sticker visible on the side is a good indicator of its authenticity and origin.
