Description from the seller
Stunning Val Saint Lambert Crystal Vase - Model 'Cahors' - Cobalt Blue
Description:
For sale: An breathtaking, original crystal vase from the renowned Belgian crystal manufacturer Val Saint Lambert. It concerns the iconic and much-loved model "Cahors", produced in the post-war glory years of the factory (ca. 1950 - 1970).
This vase is entirely handcrafted and saw-cut in the historic headquarters in Seraing (Belgium) according to the traditional crystal doublé technique: a base of ultra-pure, heavy clear crystal with a refined cobalt blue overlay layer. The geometric Art Deco-style diamond pattern (diamond-cut) and the elegant arches at the top are deeply cut by the master grinders, creating a beautiful play of light. The underside features the characteristic, hand-cut 24-point star.
Condition of the object:
The vase is in absolute top condition / like-new. There are no chips, no damage and no traces of limescale. The vase has always stood on display in a cabinet and has presumably never been used functionally, which has preserved the crystal’s maximum, factory-original brilliance.
Product hallmark: This model originates from a period in which vases with a deep starry base were exclusively equipped with a paper foil sticker, because there was no flat surface on the bottom for a punch stamp. The sticker has worn away over the decades, but authenticity is 100% guaranteed by the model-specific characteristics and the exceptional artisanal finish from Seraing.
Specifications:
• Manufacturer: Val Saint Lambert
• Place of manufacture: Seraing (Belgium)
• Production period: Ca. 1950 - 1970 (Mid-Century)
• Model: Cahors
• Material: Heavy lead crystal (hand-cut)
• Color: Cobalt blue and clear crystal
• Height: 27 cm
• Weight: Very heavy, high-quality crystal
Pickup or Shipping:
Due to the weight and fragility of the crystal, pickup is strongly preferred. Shipping is possible, insured only. The vase will of course be packed very carefully with generous layers of bubble wrap.
