Small Cut Crystal Jug “Louise”
by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium
Catalogue reference: 1908

This refined small crystal jug belongs to the “Louise” service, one of Val Saint Lambert’s classic table designs from the early 20th century. The model is documented in the official 1908 catalogue, confirming its authenticity.

Made of high-quality crystal, the jug features fully hand-cut decoration (taille Louise) with crisp diamond cuts and fan-shaped motifs, characteristic of Val Saint Lambert’s finest work. The elegant handle and softly flared spout give the piece a balanced and timeless silhouette.

Notably, the Louise cutting pattern pairs exceptionally well with Baccarat’s taille 6073 “Douai”, making it an excellent addition to mixed high-quality crystal table settings.

Use: ideal as a cream or milk jug, for water or wine, or as a small decorative vessel.

Condition: good, with light age-related wear consistent with its period.
Technique: mouth-blown crystal, entirely hand cut.

A tasteful and collectible example of Belgian crystal, perfect for both use and display.


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.
