Descripción del producto
Set of 6 Val Saint Lambert Crystal Port or Dessert Wine Glasses – Hand Cut – Service “Yvette” – Documented in the 1904–1905 Catalogue
An elegant set of 6 hand cut crystal glasses by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, belonging to the refined “Service Yvette” series. This exact model is documented in the original Val Saint Lambert catalogue from 1904–1905, with the catalogue reference shown in the photos, confirming the authenticity and historical provenance of the set.
The glasses feature finely executed hand cutting with radiant starburst motifs and richly detailed geometric patterns that beautifully capture and refract the light. The faceted stems and balanced proportions reflect the exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance for which Val Saint Lambert became internationally renowned during the Belle Époque period.
With a capacity of approximately 80 ml, these glasses are perfectly suited for port, dessert wine, sherry, or other fortified wines. Their refined proportions and delicate silhouette make them especially elegant for sophisticated table settings and formal entertaining.
Entirely handmade and hand finished, each glass may show slight variations or tiny imperfections typical of early 20th century crystal production, adding to the authenticity and charm of antique crystal.
Sets preserved in matching condition for more than a century are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially with such delicate hand cut decoration and finely worked stems.
Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks.
The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp.
The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics.
Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation.
