AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Val Saint Lambert – Nestor Service 1946, uranium crystal wine glasses
Set of antique uranium crystal wine glasses, from the Nestor Service, a model created in 1946 and made in the Hamler size, one of Val Saint Lambert’s emblematic decors in the immediate post-war period.
This service is documented in the official catalogs of the crystal manufacturer, where one finds exactly the same goblet shape, slender stem, and the cut decor of vertical rounded drops, characteristic of this production.
The glasses feature a bowl with balanced proportions, originally intended for tasting table wine or white wine, according to 1940s practices.
The crystal, a very pale green in natural light, reveals under UV light an intense green fluorescence, typical of uranium crystal (uraline) still used by Val Saint Lambert at that time.
The Hamler cut provides a graphic, regular, and legible pattern, perfectly illustrating the stylistic transition between tradition and modernity in post-war Belgian crystal.
Dimensions
Height: 11 cm
Diameter at the rim: 6.5 cm
Uranium crystal (urinaline)
Natural and homogeneous UV fluorescence
Authentic Val Saint Lambert production
Dating
1946
Very good overall condition
A very small nick on the rim of 1 glass but so tiny that it cannot be photographed; nonetheless worth noting.
The Hamlet decor, easily identifiable
An elegant and collectible set, appreciated both for table setting and for the display cabinet.
Careful and secure shipping
