Description from the seller

Val Saint Lambert “Royal” Crystal Vase, 1950s

A beautiful Val Saint Lambert “Royal” crystal vase, dating from the 1950s. Crafted from high-quality clear crystal, the vase features a striking dynamic cut pattern that beautifully catches and refracts the light.

The vase is signed on the base and the model is documented in the original Val Saint Lambert catalogue, confirming its authenticity and design. A refined example of Belgian mid-century crystal craftsmanship.


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.
There are minor surface scratches on the interior.

Will be well carefully packaged, protected and insured
