Description from the seller
Rare Vase "Austerlitz" Val Saint Lambert – Crystal & Gold Finish (Vintage)
Enhance your interior with this prestigious piece from the renowned Belgian crystal maker Val Saint Lambert. The "Austerlitz" model is a true work of art, blending the clarity of cut crystal with the elegance of a gilded leaf decor in fine gold on a frosted (satinized) body.
A characterful piece, heavy and very stable, perfect for dressing an sideboard or completing a luxury crystal collection.
→ Technical Characteristics
• Origin: Val Saint Lambert (Belgium)
• Model: Austerlitz - Gold Leaves
• Material: Hand-cut superior crystal
• Dimensions: Height 25 cm x Width (neck) 12 cm x Base 10 cm
• Exact weight: 1681 grams
→ Exceptional Authenticity & Traceability
• Hand-engraved signature at the tip under the base "Val St Lambert" (very clear, see photos).
• Original gold label from the period present on the neck.
• Original caution sticker from the period "Do not wash with detergent" still intact under the base.
The item has lived and shows two usage flaws visible in the close-up photos:
• A pronounced chip on the edge of the base (under the vase, does not affect stability and is invisible when the vase is placed).
• A small discreet flake on the gilded edge of the upper neck (see dedicated photo).
This is a superb opportunity to acquire an authentic, signed piece.
