Description from the seller
Important and complete service of 24 pieces of heavy top-quality crystal goblets, attributable to the prestigious Belgian manufacturer Val Saint Lambert.
The design is identified in the historical glassware catalogs (editions 1929, 1930 and 1938) as the "Osram" model of the Gondole series.
The goblets are characterized by the refined Taillé Côtes Plates work (flat-cut facets). The design features a sophisticated geometric transition: a stem with a hexagonal cross-section (6 faces) that connects to the bowl opening into an eight-petal corona (ribs), a technique studied to enhance refraction and brilliance of the crystal.
Service composition (24 pieces):
• 6 Water Goblets: Height 15.5 cm
• 6 Wine Goblets: Height 14.0 cm
• 6 Liquor Goblets (Cordials): Height 11.0 cm
• 6 Liquor Goblets (Petits): Height 9.0 cm
Historical and stylistic notes:
The service is an excellent example of Art Déco / Neo-Classical style. Although slight variations in curvature compared to the technical drawings in the vintage catalogs are noticeable, the material quality, the weight (about 200 g for the large goblet) and the specific cutting technique confirm the high craftsmanship of the Belgian region.
Condition:
The set presents in very good overall condition, compatible with occasional use and the vintage era of the items. The crystal retains excellent transparency and resonance. Very light signs of wear on the base may be present, in line with the vintage nature of the lot. No chipping noted.
It will be shipped with adequate protection. For islands or.remote or isolated locations it may be necessary to increase shipping costs.
