Set of 6 Val Saint Lambert Crystal Water Goblets — “Service Pully” — 1940s

An elegant set of 6 crystal goblets by Val Saint Lambert, dating from the late 1940s and documented in the official Service Pully catalogue (1945–1950), confirming their authenticity and historical provenance.

These are the largest goblets from the service, originally designed as goblets for water, with a generous capacity of approximately 250 ml. Today, their versatile size also makes them ideal for wine or refined everyday use.

The glasses feature the characteristic hand-cut stem (jambe taillée), a subtle yet sophisticated detail that reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of Val Saint Lambert. Entirely handmade in crystal, they embody the understated elegance and clean geometric lines that bridge late Art Deco aesthetics with timeless modern design.

In addition to the catalogue reference, two glasses retain the engraved VSL mark on the base, further confirming their authenticity as genuine Val Saint Lambert production.

Their minimalist and refined silhouette allows them to fit beautifully into both classic and contemporary interiors. They will appeal equally to collectors of Art Deco crystal and admirers of modern minimalism seeking authentic historical objects of exceptional quality.

Condition is very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of age consistent with handmade crystal from the period.

A refined and highly usable set of Belgian crystal, combining documented catalogue provenance, elegant proportions, and timeless design.

Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks.

The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp.

The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics.

Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation.
