Description from the seller

Val Saint Lambert “Balmoral” Crystal Plate and Bowl Set
Mid-century Belgian crystal at its finest, this stunning set from Val Saint Lambert belongs to the “Balmoral” service, showcased in the company’s official catalog.

The design clearly reflects mid-20th-century craftsmanship, while retaining influences of late Art Deco – clean lines, symmetrical radiance, and timeless elegance. Both pieces are crafted from high-quality cut crystal: the bowl (22 cm diameter, 7 cm height) and the plate (30 cm diameter) form a harmonious pair, ideal for serving or display.

This set blends seamlessly with a variety of table settings – from Art Deco sophistication and Mid-Century charm to modern minimalist aesthetics. The plate still bears its original Val Saint Lambert sticker, and both items are signed, attesting to their authenticity.

Condition: Very good vintage condition – never used, with only a couple of light scratches consistent with age.
A beautiful and collectible addition to any refined table or curated interior.


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.
