ABOUT PRODUCTID 4082
The finger vase from Val St Lambert stands as a testament to Belgian art glass of the 1960s, crafted in a renowned manufactory celebrated for its glassmaking expertise and innovative forms. Made from substantial, hand-shaped cased glass, it features a seamless gradient from deep, cool cobalt at the base to clear transparency at the rim. Five elongated, undulating lobes extend upwards, creating a dynamic, sculptural silhouette reminiscent of outstretched fingers or flower petals. The surface is perfectly smooth and glossy, while the base is meticulously ground flat, underlining the attention to detail. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible signs of use or damage. This piece speaks the language of mid-century modern—its organic, flowing lines and striking color encapsulate the spirit of the 1960s, a period when experiments with colored glass and abstract forms marked a departure from traditional conventions. Each of the five "finger" lobes seems to invite light to pass through, casting subtle reflections and shadows. The vase tells a story of the design boldness of its era: a desire for everyday objects to become autonomous works of art, not merely backdrops for flowers. The vase would be well suited to a living room styled in mid-century modern fashion, displayed on a low sideboard in light wood or atop a marble surface. It could be paired with simple, geometric accessories—such as monochrome prints or a single metal candlestick—to accentuate its sculptural shape. The piece also lends itself to minimalist interiors, where its deep cobalt glass will serve as a strong, artistic focal point, especially when set near natural light or alongside a broad-leafed green plant.
