Description from the seller

Delightful and exquisite small miniature rounded vase in solid two-tone crystal, a collector's cabinet piece showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the renowned Belgian crystal works Val Saint Lambert. Dating from the first half or mid-20th century, this model beautifully demonstrates technical mastery through the application of a rich emerald green cased glass overlay fused onto a pristine clear crystal core. The body features a meticulous style of geometric rich cutting entirely executed on the wheel, combining an elegant upper frieze of polished horizontal ovals and cabochons with a lavish lower pattern of crisscrossed diamond points, sharp bevels, and radiating stars (an object with such concentrated brilliance it will easily catch every light reflection in your room even if it holds nothing more than a simple daisy). The short neck finishes with a superb scalloped rim cut into regular zigzag teeth that elegantly crowns its silhouette. Unsigned, which is a recurring feature on these studio miniature creations shaped and cut freehand, the incomparable purity of the crystal and the distinct iconography of the cut patterns undisputedly guarantee its fine Belgian heritage. The item remains in very good overall vintage condition, completely free of cracks or chips along its faceted edges, and retains its pristine, sparkling luster. Regarding technical specifications, this vase stands 11.5 cm tall with a neck opening diameter of 7.5 cm and a maximum body diameter of approximately 8 cm. A genuine, fine collector's item, perfect for enriching a display of premium European glassware or bringing a sophisticated touch of retro-chic elegance to your home styling. Please study the detailed photographs carefully as they form an essential part of the description. The lot will be securely packed using professional-grade, heavy-duty protective materials and shipped with full track and trace tracking.
