AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Belgium, Rhine Wine Glass 'Tilly', Mid-Century Modern, Val Saint Lambert, ca. 1950-1960
Description: This magnificent 'Tilly' Rhine wine glass from the famed Val Saint Lambert is a triumph of craftsmanship and aesthetics. Executed in a deep emerald green overglaze on clear crystal, this glass captures light in a way that only hand-cut crystal of this allure can achieve. The razor-sharp facets with characteristic olive-shaped hollows and the geometric, faceted stem testify to unparalleled technical precision. Such an object is not merely glasswork, but a rare sculptural showpiece that underscores the exclusivity of a refined lifestyle.
Interior Advice & Presence: This glass functions as a 'jewel for the table'. In a classic setting it brings color and prestige, while in a sleek, modern interior it serves as a powerful tactile accent. With a height of 18 cm and the saturated green color, it immediately attracts attention in a lit display cabinet or on a marble sideboard.
Specifications:
* Dimensions: 18 x 8 cm
* Weight: 360 grams
* Material: Mouth-blown and hand-cut crystal (Double overvang)
Provenance: From a prestigious collection of European table crystal; carefully preserved.
Condition: good vintage condition. The crystal shows exceptional clarity with no lime scale buildup, and the facets are still fully sharp and intact.
Shipping: We ship in an exceptionally professional manner with an extra secure Track & Trace service. Be sure to check the feedback left by satisfied buyers earlier.
Biographies • History: Val Saint Lambert, founded in 1826 in Seraing, Belgium, is worldwide synonymous with the finest crystal. The 'Tilly' décor is a timeless classic within their oeuvre, combining the technique of the 'overvangen' with deep engravings to reveal the underlying contrast. This type of Rhine wine glass, also known as 'Römer', was originally designed to accentuate the color of white wines from the Rhine region.
