Manufacturer and origin: Val Saint Lambert, Belgium. Production period: circa 1950s. Decorative cut crystal centrepiece bowl, with elements associated with Art Deco-influenced and mid-century Belgian glass design. Suitable as a display bowl, table centrepiece or addition to a crystal collection. The bowl is in presentable vintage condition with normal age-related surface wear. A visible chip and roughness can be seen on part of the upper rim, as shown in the close-up photographs. Minor scratches and signs of use may be present. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photographs, so please examine all images carefully. Val Saint Lambert is one of Belgium’s best-known crystal manufacturers, with a long tradition of colour-overlay crystal and precision cutting. Emerald green overlay examples remain attractive to collectors because the colour requires careful cutting to reveal the clear crystal beneath. The large size and sculptural rim give this bowl stronger decorative impact than smaller table pieces. Size: height 18 cm, width 28 cm, depth 18 cm. 5.5 kg
