A working Val Saint Lambert sommerso glass table lamp, with a raspberry-pink core in twisted clear glass, dating from around 1950–1965.
Description from the seller
The original golden Val St Lambert label from Belgium is still on the foot. This Val Saint Lambert table lamp is a sommerso: a raspberry-pink core in thick, clear glass, hot-rolled. The light passes through three rotating wings and colors the core from raspberry to clear. A compact lamp of 20 cm for a cabinet, sideboard or nightstand.

Description:
A triangular base with three wings that rise in a twist to a narrow neck. The raspberry-pink core sits deep in the glass and extends upward into clear glass. Fine air bubbles in the core are a result of the hand craftsmanship. The wide base gives the lamp a sturdy stand. At the top is a metal collar in brass tone with a white fitting; a shade is not included. The lamp is functional.
About the maker:
Val Saint Lambert was founded in 1825 in Seraing, on the Meuse. In the fifties and sixties the crystal factory produced uncut, heavy crystal with twisted color accents, including lamps, fruit bowls and ashtrays. The round, organic shapes of those years were also developed with Italian glassblowers. This lamp belongs to that line. The house still exists.
In interior design:
On a sideboard against a white wall, the raspberry-pink is the only warm color point.
