Blue Sommerso Crystal Ashtray Dish from Val Saint-Lambert, Belgium

Impressive vintage catch-all from the Belgian crystal factory Val Saint-Lambert, made of intense cobalt blue and transparent crystal, with a sommerso effect, handcrafted in the 1960s - 1970s, reminiscent of Murano work in Italy. Square in shape, it features a thick base and an flared body with wavy edges. The cobalt blue is enveloped in a thick layer of transparent crystal, creating effects of depth and light. It can be used as a catch-all, decorative bowl, or cigar ashtray. In perfect condition, with no chips or cracks. The underside of the base shows marks related to the cutting and finishing of the crystal, which are not defects. The photos are an integral part of the description. Length: 15 cm.
