Product description
Set of 6 Large Crystal Wine or Water Goblets – Val Saint Lambert “Service Mery” – Art Deco
A refined set of 6 large crystal goblets by Val Saint Lambert, from the distinguished “Service Mery”, designed in the Art Deco style. Featuring precise geometric cuts and elegant symmetry, these glasses reflect the bold, decorative aesthetics of the 1940s.
Each glass stands approximately 16 cm tall and holds up to 200 ml, making them ideal for serving wine, water, or even stylish cocktails. The deep faceted pattern is entirely hand-cut, showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship behind Val Saint Lambert’s crystal engraving. The detailing adds brilliance and texture, elevating both the visual and tactile experience.
Documented in the official Val Saint Lambert catalogue (circa 1945–1950), these glasses come with verified authenticity and provenance.
A stunning blend of form and function — perfect for collectors or as a statement piece on the contemporary table.
Antique crystal glasses from the early 20th century are handmade, so small differences in weight, stem thickness, or wall thickness and small imperfections are normal for that period.
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.
