Val Saint Lambert is a Belgian crystal glassware manufacturer, founded in 1826 and based in Seraing. It is the official glassware supplier to King Albert II. All types of table glassware and decorative glassware have been made with pieces often decorated with glass cut to clear designs. Each product is unique, mouth blown and hand cut and finished. The pure Val Saint Lambert crystal is known as one of the clearest in the world. Glassblowing is one of the oldest techniques in glass art, handed down at Val Saint Lambert from father to son, and from son to grandson.
