Val Saint Lambert “Ecailles” Service – Set of 4 Pressed Crystal Plates

A stunning set of four pressed crystal plates from the iconic Service Ecailles by Val Saint Lambert. The design first appeared in the 1930s as part of the LUXVAL line and evolved throughout the mid-20th century, with this particular version cataloged in the 1960s as the line expanded.

Each plate features the recognizable scale-like (“ecailles”) pattern, with beautifully refracted light play — a testament to the craftsmanship of Val Saint Lambert’s moulded crystal work. The sizes range from 22 cm to 32 cm, making this set versatile for serving or display.

These plates are perfectly suited to both modern and classic table settings. Whether used for fruit, pastries, or as decorative pieces, they lend an understated elegance to any occasion.

	•	Material: Pressed crystal
	•	Sizes: Approx. 22 cm – 32 cm
	•	Condition: No chips or cracks. Some surface scratches consistent with age.
	•	Authenticity: Pictured in original Val Saint Lambert catalogues, confirming provenance.

A refined addition to any crystal collection, and a rare opportunity to own a complete plate set from one of Belgium’s most celebrated glass manufacturers.


Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks.

The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp.

The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics.

Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation.
