Val Saint Lambert - Vase - Crystal - Chartreuse vase VSL

This substantial and spectacular modernist art glass vase from the prestigious Belgian manufacture Val Saint Lambert stands as an exceptional testament to mid-century glassmaking virtuosity, crafted during the 1950s or 1960s. The piece instantly captivates the eye with its rigid, elongated geometric silhouette featuring broad vertical flat ribs and sharp cut corners rising with great structural force from a heavy polygonal clear crystal base. The item achieves its unique visual depth through its olive or chartreuse yellow-green hue tinted in the glass mass, resulting in stunning linear refractions as light passes through its heavy walls. The bottom of the piece provides full period authenticity for collectors, bearing the genuine hand-engraved diamond-point signature from the factory, paired with light and genuine shelf wear friction underneath that witnesses its historical age. Displaying a remarkable density and sturdiness with a massive weight of 3200 grams ensuring a majestic stance on your furniture, this art piece stands at an impressive height of 41 centimeters with a maximum width of 14 centimeters and a depth of 9 centimeters. The vase is in very good overall condition, with the lead crystal retaining all its brilliant structural luster without experiencing any chips or cracks, showing only some light internal water stains or faint residue inside the bottom base from historical floral usage. A highly graphic and timeless collectible design object, perfect for serving as a sophisticated interior highlight or joining a selective mid-century European art glass display window.
