Val Saint Lambert - Stem bowl (2) - Crystal - vintage VSL candy boxes

These are two candy boxes made of cut crystal, from the renowned Belgian manufacturer Val Saint Lambert, in two completely different styles.

1. The blue-lidded coupe is made of clear crystal with a deep blue "cut-to-clear" overlay, which means the blue layer has been cut away to reveal the clear glass underneath.

Function: This piece is often used as a decorative showpiece or for storing bonbons.
Dimensions: height 25 cm, diameter 15 cm, weight 1.4 kg.
A remnant of the original VSL sticker is visible.

2. The transparent footless bonbonnière shows a classic cut crystal design, often characterized by geometric shapes and facets that reflect light. Similar pieces from the Val Saint Lambert collections often date from the 1930s (Art Deco) to the 1960s.
Identification: On the lid is an original Val Saint Lambert sticker visible, confirming authenticity. Many of these pieces are also signed on the bottom.
