Val Saint Lambert Signed Crystal Perfume Bottle or Small Decanter – Two-Tone Emerald Overlay, Late Art Deco Design An exquisite piece from the celebrated Val Saint Lambert crystalworks of Belgium, this perfume bottle (or small decanter) is a stunning example of late Art Deco elegance. Handcrafted from thick, high-quality crystal with an emerald green overlay, the bottle features deeply faceted cuts that catch and refract light, creating a vivid interplay of shadow and brilliance. The dramatic geometric stopper, cut in a multi-faceted diamond form, complements the rhythmic pattern of the bottle’s body — a perfect balance of symmetry and sculptural volume. The base is signed Val St Lambert, confirming its authenticity and origin from one of Europe’s most prestigious glassmakers. Both decorative and functional, this piece can serve as a luxurious perfume bottle, a small decanter, or simply as an eye-catching collectible for any Art Deco or fine crystal collection. About the designer: Charles Graffart (1893–1967) was a prominent Belgian glass designer and long-time artistic director at Val Saint Lambert. Known for his innovative approach to form and cutting techniques, he played a central role in modernizing the company’s style during the Art Deco period. His work blends clarity of geometry with technical virtuosity and remains highly sought after by collectors of decorative arts. Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks. The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp. The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics. Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation. Will be well packaged, protected and insured
