Val Saint Lambert Crystal Vase (22cms height) — “Danse de Flore” Style This elegant pedestal vase is a fine example of Belgian crystal craftsmanship from the renowned Val Saint Lambert glassworks, founded in 1825 in Liège, Belgium. The piece bears the original gold foil “Val St. Lambert / Cristal Belgique / Déposé” label, confirming its authenticity. The vase features a graceful two-part silhouette: an upper section with faceted, deeply cut clear crystal panels, and a lower goblet-shaped body with a frosted ground adorned with gilded neoclassical figures — dancing maidens in flowing robes amid stylized trees. The motif is consistent with Val St. Lambert’s celebrated “Danse de Flore” decorative tradition, popularized in the mid-20th century. A gold band elegantly divides the two sections. The piece rests on a circular crystal foot and flares to a wide, trumpet-shaped mouth. The combination of cut crystal, acid-etched frosting, and applied gold decoration represents some of the highest decorative techniques employed by the manufactory.
