Val Saint Lambert - Perfume bottle (2) - Valambert - Uranium glass - VASELINE GLASS

Delicate glass perfume bottle with its original stopper, in ouraline glass, produced by Cristallerie du Val Saint Lambert and featured in the 1908 Valambert catalog. This elegant model illustrates the turning point when the manufacturer blends the heritage of classical forms with the first influences of Art Nouveau. Made in uranium glass, also called ouraline or vaseline glass, the piece reveals a soft yellow-green hue in natural light and an intense green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, characteristic of this material.

The bottle presents a harmonious, refined silhouette, composed of a slightly contoured body with softened facets that gracefully broadens from an octagonal base. The decoration alternates tall vertical reserves with slender lines and a mid-height band of raised diamonds that rhythmically modulate the composition. The shoulders, discreetly faceted, lead to a simple cylindrical neck, topped by a perfectly matching stopper. This stopper adopts a faceted spherical shape, animated by radiating ribs and small geometric motifs that diffusely reflect light with great finesse, in perfect continuity with the bottle’s design.

The set is in excellent condition. The glass remains fully transparent and retains its original brilliance. Only very discreet chipping at the base of the bottle will be noted, barely visible, and a small loss on the inner face of the stopper; without impact on the aesthetic quality or the overall presentation of the ensemble.

In 1908, Val Saint Lambert was among Europe’s most prestigious manufactories, recognized for the quality of its crystal and the richness of its creations intended for both the table and personal toilette items. The Valambert range testifies to the aim of offering elegant objects with finely molded decors, suited to the tastes of the early 20th century. The models made in ouraline occupy a singular place in this production: the small proportion of uranium oxide incorporated into the glass gives it its luminous yellow tint and its remarkable fluorescence under ultraviolet, a technical signature of the decorative productions of that era.
