Val Saint Lambert - Charles Graffart - Vase - ART DECO - Crystal

Val Saint Lambert Art Deco Crystal Vase – Signed Authentic Piece This exquisite two-tone crystal vase is a stunning example of Val Saint Lambert’s renowned craftsmanship. With a bold Art Deco silhouette and deep emerald green overlay cut to clear, the vase radiates sophistication from every angle. Its intricate hand-cut geometric pattern captures and refracts light beautifully, creating a dazzling display of brilliance and depth. The sculptural base and precise facets emphasize the timeless elegance and technical mastery of the piece. What truly sets this vase apart is the engraved signature on the bottom, a mark of authenticity and a testament to its origin from the legendary Belgian crystal house, Val Saint Lambert. Val Saint Lambert is especially known for its distinctive shade of green crystal—a deep, rich color reminiscent of emerald. When combined with the expertly faceted surface of the vase, this signature hue enhances the play of light and shadow, making each piece instantly recognizable and visually captivating. An iconic decorative object, perfect for collectors of fine glassware or anyone seeking a statement piece with historical and artistic value. 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. Will be well packaged, protected and insured
