A hard to find cranberry cut-to-clear crystal cocktail mixing beaker, attributed to Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, circa 1960s–1970s. Crafted from heavy lead crystal, the beaker features a rich ruby overlay expertly cut back to clear crystal.The design is distinguished by a band of elongated thumb cuts above a faceted lower section, all executed with exceptional clarity and sharpness. The substantial weight and thickness of the crystal, together with the crisp mitre cuts and deeply cut base, reflect the high standards of craftsmanship associated with quality European crystal production of Val St Lambert. A shaped pouring lip, characteristic of cocktail mixing beakers, adds both elegance and practicality. Whether displayed as part of a barware collection or used for its intended purpose, this piece is a fine example of mid-century cut crystal design.
