Val St. Lambert - Table service - Sparkle Molding - Crystal

Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a heritage that spans almost two centuries. Founded in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a flourishing glass factory.
The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 20th century the company employed more than 5,000 workers and produced around 120,000 glass pieces daily. Their creations, lauded for exceptional quality and intricate designs, attracted admirers around the world, including Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their craftsmanship is the "Vase of the Nine Provinces", a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, made for the 1894 World’s Fair in Antwerp.
The 20th century brought challenges, including the impact of two world wars and economic downturns.
Nonetheless, the resilience of Val Saint Lambert ensured that the artistic heritage was preserved. Today the company effortlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing splendid crystal pieces that resonate with modern aesthetics."
