Product description
Val Saint Lambert – “Ronald” Vase | Art Deco | 1935
An exceptional example of Belgian Art Deco glassmaking, this striking pressed glass vase was produced by Val Saint Lambert in 1935 as part of the iconic Luxval collection. The model is titled “Ronald”, and it features a powerful geometric relief design—defined by vertical ridges and stylized leaf or petal motifs that create a rich interplay of light and shadow.
Measuring approximately 19 cm in height, the vase is substantial in size and presence, making it a perfect centerpiece for a modern or vintage interior.
Its authenticity is fully supported by the original Val Saint Lambert 1935 Luxval catalog, in which the “Ronald” model is clearly illustrated (see last image). This documentation serves as a valuable proof of origin and underscores its heritage.
A beautiful fusion of bold Art Deco lines, historic craftsmanship
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.
