AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a rare and beautiful cologne bottle or small decanter, presumably produced by the renowned Belgian crystal factory Val Saint Lambert and dated around 1908. The piece is a stunning example of the 'cut-to-clear' (double-layered) technique, where the vibrant greenish-yellow Ouraline (Uranium glass) is coated with a deep ruby-red (rubis) crystal layer.
The bottle is entirely hand-cut in the style of 'Taille Riche' (richly cut). The decoration features the classic and deeply cut 'Taille à pointes de diamant' (diamond-point cut or diamond-shaped facets) that dominates the body of the bottle, complemented by detailed faceted cuts on the shoulder and neck. The thick base of the bottle is also richly decorated with a complex, deeply cut 'Sterpatroon' (Taille en Étoile). This faceted detail creates a beautiful light refraction, demonstrating high quality.
The authenticity of this collection is underscored by the fact that the original, custom-cut stop and the neck of the bottle are both marked with the identical number '89'. This proves that the set is complete and belongs together.
This is a unique and collectible piece for Art Nouveau crystal enthusiasts, particularly the rare Ouraline editions.
The bottle is in excellent condition.
