An impressive, signed, and extremely heavy (4.485 gr) cut crystal vase from the prestigious Cristallerie du Val Saint Lambert (Belgium). This piece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship for which VSL is world-renowned. Key Features & Craftsmanship: Signature: The vase is Signed (Engraved). The authentic signature "Val St Lambert" or "VSL" can be found on the base confirming its authenticity and origin. Technique: This is a superb example of 'Overlay' or 'Doublé' crystal. A thick layer of intense Ruby Red crystal has been expertly fused onto a clear crystal base. The vase was then deeply hand-cut, revealing the brilliant clear crystal beneath and creating a magnificent contrast. Design & Style: The piece features a strong, geometric, slightly tapered form, resting on a thick, faceted base. This style is highly characteristic of Val Saint Lambert's opulent designs from the Mid-20th Century (approx. 1950s - 1970s). Cutting Pattern: The entire body is covered in a precise, deeply cut diamond lattice or criss-cross pattern. This intricate cut ensures maximum light refraction and brilliance, highlighting both the rich red colour and the clarity of the underlying crystal. Material: High-quality lead crystal giving the vase its substantial weight and exceptional sparkle. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The crystal is bright, and the cutting is sharp. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Minimal signs of use consistent with age. Please examine all provided photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.
