Val Saint Lambert, a renowned Belgian glass company, was known for its high-quality crystal pieces. This particular vase is notable for its rich plum colour and elegant design, which reflects the craftsmanship and artistic trends of the early 20th Century The Liège-based glass company Val Saint-Lambert reached its peak on the eve of the First World War, when more than 5.000 workers manufactured some 200.000 objects daily. Val Saint-Lambert was able to translate high-quality handiwork to an industrial scale thanks to the well-oiled collaboration between designers, glass-blowers, polishers and engravers. The production of the characteristic ‘double coloured and cut crystal’ was launched in 1908 and placed the company on the world map. This technique makes it possible, for example, to place a (1)* coloured layer of crystal on top of a clear layer, before cutting the crystal on the outside or the inside. Both the clear and the coloured crystal is visible in the end product and gradations emerge that depend on the colours chosen and on how deep the cuts were made.
