Val Saint Lambert - Exclusive Set of 4 TALL Harlequin Crystal Rhine Wine Glasses - Model 'Legagneux' - Art Deco 1935 - Belgium An exceptionally elegant and highly sought-after set of 4 tall, hand-crafted lead crystal hock / Rhine wine glasses by the renowned Belgian crystal manufacturer Val Saint Lambert. Designed in 1935 by Hubert Legagneux during the pinnacle of the Art Deco era, this specific lot features the prestigious and rarer high-stem (tall) edition of the iconic 'Legagneux' pattern. This model is highly praised for its sleek, elongated silhouette and masterfully crafted flat-facet cuts (côtes plates) that catch the light beautifully. The glasses stand significantly taller than the standard wine or liqueur variants of this series, making them a stately and eye-catching addition to any high-end collection. These glasses are a testament to the absolute master craftsmanship of the crystal works in Seraing, Belgium. The production process involves two complex, traditional artisan techniques: Mouth-Blown Layering: Each glass was individually mouth-blown by master glassblowers, layering a thin coat of vibrant, colored crystal entirely over a base of heavy, clear lead crystal. Hand-Cut Facets: Once cooled, a master cutter meticulously hand-ground the deep vertical facets using a diamond cutting wheel. By cutting through the colored outer layer, the underlying clear crystal is revealed, creating sharp, dramatic contrasts and an incredible play of light. The set is presented in a breathtaking 'Harlequin' color combination: deep cobalt blue, vibrant fuchsia pink, emerald green, and chartreuse yellow. Each piece features the original, authentic hand-engraved diamond-pen signature "Val St Lambert" on the bottom of its hexagonal base, guaranteeing its authenticity. While they remain a dream for white wine connoisseurs, their slender, tapered shape makes them incredibly fashionable and festive today for serving Champagne, Cava, or Prosecco. They offer a unique, colorful, and luxurious alternative to standard modern champagne flutes.
