Description

The pure Val Saint Lambert crystal is known as one of the clearest in the world. It all starts with a sophisticated product composition – a mixture of sand, potassium and soda. The raw materials are heated at 1400°C and melted to a viscous liquid. The glassblower takes a blob of liquid glass out of the furnace with a blowpipe and blows it into a bell – in open space or by using a mould. Glassblowing is one of the oldest techniques in glass art, handed down at Val Saint Lambert from father to son, and from son to grandson.


This is a covered cut glass candy dish, signed.
