Val Saint Lambert Art Deco Two-Handled Footed Bowl Amber Demi-Crystal, Belgium, 1924 / Luxval Collection A striking Art Deco two-handled footed bowl by Val Saint Lambert, one of Belgium’s most prestigious glass manufactories. First documented in the 1924 catalogue and later incorporated into the celebrated Luxval collection of the 1930s, this elegant model perfectly embodies the geometric sophistication and luminous decorative style that defined European Art Deco glass. Executed in a rich amber tone, the bowl glows beautifully under light, revealing the remarkable translucency and warmth of the demi-crystal. The sculptural silhouette is enhanced by angular geometric handles, softly fluted sides, and a stepped pedestal base, all characteristic of the bold architectural vocabulary of the period. Produced in pressed demi-crystal, the piece reflects Val Saint Lambert’s technical innovation and mastery of decorative moulded glass during the interwar years. The elegant symmetry and refined proportions allow it to function equally well as a fruit bowl, serving piece, centerpiece, or purely decorative sculptural object. The original catalogue photographs shown serve as documentation of authenticity and historical provenance. In addition to the catalogue documentation, the bowl still bears the original Val Saint Lambert manufacturer’s stamp on the base, visible in the photographs. Models preserved within the Luxval line are especially appreciated by collectors for their iconic forms and their important place in Belgian Art Deco design history. A timeless and highly decorative example of Art Deco glass, equally suited to vintage-inspired interiors as well as modern minimalist spaces. Condition is very good for its age, with no major chips or cracks. Minor surface wear, small manufacturing imperfections, and tiny irregularities visible on the photos are consistent with the original production process and are typical for pressed demi-crystal objects of this period.
