AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional and rare 1930s Art Deco cone-shaped vase designed by the celebrated master Charles Graffart for Val Saint Lambert (Belgium). This striking piece features the iconic 'Semiramis' design model, characterized by its heavily stylized, geometric stepped cone silhouette.
Crafted with master-level precision, it utilizes a sophisticated overlay cut-to-clear crystal technique. The rich, dark purple/amethyst colored crystal horizontal bands form a stunning contrast against the deeply cut, high-clarity transparent crystal sections. Complete with its original golden paper brand label/pastille intact near the upper rim.
A classic example of mid-century Belgian modernist luxury glass artistry, making it a stellar addition for serious collectors of Art Deco crystal.
