Val Saint Lambert cobalt blue crystal vase “Tenier”
Val Saint Lambert cobalt blue crystal vase “Tenier”
Definition.
This rare vase is mouth blown from clear crystal, after which a layer of blue crystal is applied over it. During the finish, part of the blue crystal is then cut away so that beautiful geometric figures appear. These, in turn, give a beautiful sparkle in the light.
This doubled crystal is typical of Val Saint Lambert, they perfected this process and often used it.
Val Saint Lambert uses high lead crystal. This means that at least 33% lead oxide (PbO) is used, more than the statutory 24%. This greatly benefits the quality: The crystal can be processed finer, the degree of brilliance is a lot greater and the crystal is clearer than ever.
This is an absolute masterpiece in terms of glassware and crystal.
The name of the vase is “Tenier” and is made in the rare color blue.
