AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant set of molded glass service from Val Saint Lambert Crystal, Luxval production, model “Severina” in rosaline tint, as listed in the 1952 catalog.
This series continues the Art Deco creations developed from the 1930s by the manufactory, notably under the guidance of designers Charles Graffart and René Delvenne, and continued in the post-war period with broader distribution and varied hues. The rosaline glass, delicately tinted with a soft pink, captures and diffuses light with subtlety, giving the ensemble a presence that is both gentle and graphic.
The set comprises six plates and a large circular divided tray. The tray, broad and shallow, is structured into three radiant compartments delineated by raised partitions forming a distinctive tripartite division. The surface is animated by a molded geometric pattern of alternating radiating striations and textured registers, creating a dynamic play of light. The plates, smaller in size, echo the same decorative vocabulary: an ornate flange framing a central circular basin, highlighted by a slight relief. The edges, finely rounded and slightly thickened, show a deeper tint, emphasizing the contour of each piece. The overall unity rests on the controlled repetition of these geometric motifs, typical of late Art Deco.
The set is in excellent condition, with beautiful clarity of the glass and perfectly preserved shine. Only a very discreet chip is reported at the base of one of the small plates, barely visible and without impact on the overall presentation. No cracks or notable alterations are to be noted, and the reliefs are sharp, evidencing high-quality craftsmanship.
The Luxval range, introduced around 1935 by Val Saint Lambert, aimed to broaden production through molded glass, more accessible than cut crystal while preserving a strong aesthetic identity. This direction allowed the Belgian manufactory, founded in 1826 and renowned internationally for its expertise, to weather difficult economic periods while renewing its models. The model “Severina,” still present in 1950s catalogs, exemplifies this transition: a design inherited from Art Deco, rationalized and modernized, where mastery of pressed glass enables rich, structured decorative effects, perfectly aligned with post-war tableware.
Average dimensions are:
- Diameter: 26.4 → 16.9 cm,
- Height: 6.5 → 1.5 cm.
- Total weight of the set: 2250 grams.
Each of the seven pieces will be individually packaged and the set will be shipped promptly in secure fashion. In-store pickup and combined delivery are available. Photos are part of the description.
