Set of 6 Val Saint Lambert “Eurel” Crystal Glasses – Art Deco Service, Belgium, 1933 An elegant set of six Art Deco crystal glasses by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, belonging to the iconic “Eurel” service, one of the manufactory’s most refined and recognizable tableware designs of the 1930s. Entirely hand-cut, the glasses feature the characteristic vertical flat-cut pattern (“taillé 12 côtes plates”) documented in the original 1933 Val Saint Lambert catalogue. The elegant conical silhouette combined with the rhythmic optical cutting creates a refined interplay of light and transparency, perfectly reflecting the sophisticated geometry of the Art Deco period. The original catalogue photograph confirms the authenticity and historical provenance of the model. In addition, examples from the Eurel service are currently presented in the special exhibition dedicated to Val Saint Lambert’s Art Deco production at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi, further highlighting the importance and collectibility of this celebrated design. The final photograph shows the museum display.
