A striking cut-to-clear crystal vase by Val Saint Lambert, crafted in rich emerald green overlay crystal and expertly hand-cut to reveal the clear crystal beneath. The vase features a bold geometric pattern of deeply faceted diamond and lozenge cuts across the upper body, creating exceptional brilliance and light refraction. The elegant form gently flares toward the rim, while the lower section is finished with elongated vertical cuts that taper toward a solid crystal base. The combination of precise hand-cut facets and vibrant coloured overlay is characteristic of Val Saint Lambert’s renowned mid-20th-century crystal production.
Founded in 1826 in Seraing, Belgium, Val Saint Lambert is celebrated worldwide for its master craftsmanship and luxurious coloured crystal. Pieces such as this demonstrate the firm’s ability to combine traditional glass-cutting techniques with strong decorative design.
