Description from the seller

Set of 6 Val Saint Lambert “Eurel” Large Crystal Glasses – 200 ml – Iconic Art Deco Design, Belgium, 1930s

An elegant set of six large Art Deco crystal glasses by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, from the iconic “Eurel” service, one of the manufactory’s most recognizable designs of the 1930s.

Entirely hand-cut, the glasses feature the characteristic vertical flat-cut decoration, “taillé 12 côtes plates”. Their elegant flared silhouette and geometric cutting create a beautiful interplay of light and transparency, perfectly reflecting the refined aesthetics of the Art Deco period.

The Eurel service appears in several original Val Saint Lambert catalogues from the 1930s. Selected catalogue pages are included among the photographs as historical documentation and proof of authenticity.

Examples from the Eurel service are also presented in the special exhibition dedicated to Val Saint Lambert’s Art Deco production at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi. The museum display, shown in the final photograph, highlights Eurel as an iconic Val Saint Lambert design of the Art Deco period.

This set represents the largest glass format from the service, with a capacity of approximately 200 ml. The glasses are suitable for wine, water or lemonade.


Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks.

The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp.

The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics.

Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation.
