AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage crystal vase (attributed to Val Saint Lambert): ruby-red, cut-to-clear technique — 25.5 cm / 1.6 kg
An elegant and substantial vintage art-crystal vase, likely produced by the renowned Belgian manufacturer Val Saint Lambert in the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s). This exquisite piece is crafted using the traditional cut-to-clear technique. The vase features a heavy, two-layer lead crystal body: the outer layer—a rich ruby-red (or cranberry) hue—has been masterfully cut away to reveal the exceptionally clear crystal beneath. The geometric pattern combines sharp vertical facets, oval lenses, and circular medallions, creating a striking optical effect and a beautiful play of light. The base is meticulously polished and features an engraved star motif; the presence of a smooth pontil mark (where the glassblowing pipe was attached) attests to the high quality of the hand-finishing. Thanks to its high lead content, the vase is notably heavy and stable.
