Description from the seller
Val Saint Lambert Ruby Red Crystal Vase – "Jupiter" Model – 1950s
This magnificent crystal vase is a standout piece from the world-renowned Belgian glassworks, Val Saint Lambert. It features the iconic "Jupiter" model, characterized by its elegant ovoid shape and sophisticated geometric patterns.
Designed during the 1950s, this piece is attributed to the influential master designers Charles Graffart and René Delvenne. The vase is crafted using the complex "doublé" technique, layering deep ruby red crystal over a brilliant, clear core. Artisans hand-cut the surface to reveal the transparent crystal underneath, creating large, luminous oval facets.
Made from high-lead crystal, the vase possesses a remarkable brilliance and a substantial, heavy feel. The precision of the cuts ensures a spectacular play of light and shadow from every angle. It remains in excellent vintage condition.
The design perfectly blends Mid-Century Modern aesthetics with the timeless luxury of Belgian craftsmanship. The vibrant ruby hue adds a warm, sophisticated touch to any interior setting or glass collection.
Below the bottom of the vase, superficial traces of use are visible, consistent with its age.
Your item will be handled with the utmost care, ensuring it is packed safely in high-quality materials. This piece will be sent via insured shipping to the winning bidder to guarantee peace of mind during transit.
