val saint lambert - Vase - Stained glass - stained glass

This is a cobalt blue crystal vase from the renowned Belgian manufacturer Val Saint Lambert. The vase is produced using the traditional doublé technique (or cut-to-clear). In this process, a layer of colored crystal is applied over the clear lead crystal and then partially ground away to create the geometric star motif. This specific model is known as the "Tenier" model or is closely related to the designs of chief designer Hubert Fouarge from the early 20th century (Art Deco / early vintage period).

Features & material: High-quality, heavy Belgian lead crystal.
Technique: Hand-cut two-color overhang crystal (cut-to-clear).

With these specific dimensions and a weight of 965 grams, this object can with absolute certainty be identified as an original, slender trumpet vase by Val Saint Lambert.

The height of 30 cm is a common, stately size for this specific hand-cut model, often attributed to designs from Hubert Fouarge's catalog (Art Deco period, ca. 1908–1920) or the later related model "Tenier".
