Description from the seller

Wonderful antique centerpiece signed Val Saint Lambert, the famous Belgian crystal maker renowned for the quality and finesse of its productions.
The piece consists of:
d’une coupe en verre cristallin teinté gris fumé avec légère nuance verdâtre. Monture en métal travaillé à décor floral (roses et feuilles), dans un style Art Déco
The dish also shows a reaction under a 365 nm UV lamp in the dark (visible on a black background), due to the probable presence of manganese used in the past as a decolorizing agent for glass and crystal
Diameter: ± 30 cm
Height with handle: ± 20–22 cm
ancien fabrication artisanale
possible micro-bulles ou légères irrégularités, normales pour ce type de production
very pretty play of light thanks to the smoky tint
The glass is in very good condition: no chips, no cracks
Presence of light signs of wear related to age
The metal mount shows a natural patina of time, with a brownish tint and slightly reddish nuances
This is not active rust:
the metal is not damaged or weakened
this coloration corresponds to normal superficial oxidation for an antique piece
The whole remains solid and perfectly stable
