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 Uraline (Uranium glass) is coated with a deep ruby red (rubis) crystal layer.

The bottle is entirely hand-cut in the style of 'Taille Riche' (rich cut). The decoration consists of the classic and deeply cut 'Taille à pointes de diamant' (diamond-pointed or diamond-cut pattern) 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 'Star Pattern' (Taille en Étoile). This faceted detail creates a beautiful light refraction, demonstrating high quality.

The authenticity of this collector's item is underscored by the fact that the original, custom-cut stopper and the neck of the bottle are both marked with the identical number '55.' This proves that the set is complete and belongs together.

This is a unique and collectible piece for lovers of Art Nouveau crystal, particularly the rare Ouraline editions.

The bottle is in excellent condition.
