Sublime plum-colored lined crystal bowl, hand-cut by the Val-Saint-Lambert workshops in the 1930s-1940s.
This spectacular piece belongs to a limited series: it is signed on the Val St Lambert wheel and numbered 107/181.
The crystal, with its rare chromatic intensity, alternates deep oblong and radiating cuts, evoking stylized flower petals, like a large winter sunflower cut into the light.
The plum hue - characteristic of the crystal-maker's refined productions - blends here with the limpidity of colorless crystal, to compose a sumptuously rich interplay of sparkles and reflections.
Placed at the center of a contemporary dining room table, on a black lacquer console or in a display case dedicated to art crystal, this Val-Saint-Lambert bowl becomes the beaming heart of an entire interior.
It's a piece that captures light, transforms it and redistributes it as an offering to the space.
