ABOUT PRODUCTID 13688
This pressed glass vase, created by Val Saint Lambert in Belgium during the 1950s, stands out with its bold, geometric silhouette. The outward-flaring walls, vertically ridged facets, and faceted construction draw inspiration from both early Brutalist and Art Deco traditions, interpreted through a distinctly mid-century modern lens. The design is defined by symmetry, sharp edges, and the substantial weight of thick pressed glass. Its primary hue is a muted olive green with amber undertones, giving the piece a warm, subtly semi-matte character. The vase is free of additional decorative elements; its ornamentation lies in the interplay of light across the glossy, transparent ribs and the gently textured, matte surfaces in between. The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear. There is no noticeable patina or evidence of restoration—the piece remains authentic and original.One might read this vase as a reflection of post-war Belgium—an era where bold architecture and the optimism of the 1950s merged with disciplined form and a restrained palette. The heavy, precisely pressed glass whispers of industrial strength and a pursuit of aesthetic clarity. Traces of Art Deco and Modernism are present, as if the vase sets up a dialogue between light and shadow: matte areas juxtaposed with gloss, soft color set against unwavering geometry. In its faceted planes, light settles like a memory of past decades, reinforcing the design’s enduring appeal.The
