ABOUT PRODUCTID 17172
This set of two water goblets, produced by Val Saint Lambert in Belgium during the 1950s, is crafted from clear, colorless crystal glass. Each goblet, measuring 16 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, features a deeply faceted bowl with vertical cuts arranged in a geometric, rhythmic pattern—evocative of mid-century modern aesthetics. The glossy, perfectly polished surface accentuates the brilliance and refraction of the crystal. The stems are slender, proportionally balanced, and end with a subtle knop just below the bowl, while flat, broad feet bearing the VSL engraving ensure stability. The design is free of additional decoration or color, relying solely on the clarity of the crystal and the precision of the cut. Condition: excellent, with no signs of use, chips, or repairs. The sharp clarity and harmonious proportions imbue each goblet with the quiet narrative of a postwar era seeking order, light, and simplicity. The Val Saint Lambert glassworks, deeply rooted in intricate craft, embraced modernity in the 1950s: restrained, rhythmical cutting, high-gloss finish, and a lack of ornament embody the spirit of an age where moderation superseded excess. Each flicker of light across the surface suggests a meeting of functional artistry and formal discipline. These goblets can be paired with minimalist white porcelain dinnerware and silver or stainless steel cutlery to highlight their geometric silhouette. They will work well in mid-century–inspired arrangements, a modernist dining setting, or as a contrast on a raw oak table. It is worth combining them with a glass jug or carafe featuring pure lines and simple white napkins; in collector’s interiors, a single goblet may be displayed as an accent on a glass shelf or bar cabinet.
