Description from the seller
Val Saint Lambert Art Deco Crystal Ice Bucket –
Hand-Finished Elegance
This exceptional crystal ice bucket by Val Saint Lambert embodies the elegance and precision of Art Deco design. With its sharp geometric form, fluted walls, and sculptural handles, it showcases the Belgian manufacturer’s renowned craftsmanship.
Each detail has been hand-finished, giving the crystal remarkable clarity and weight. The engraved signature on the base is an authentic mark of origin, attesting to the piece’s heritage and quality.
A refined addition to any bar or collection, this piece is both a functional object and a collectible work of art-from one of Europe’s most celebrated crystal houses.
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.
