For almost 200 years, Val Saint Lambert of Seraing, Belgium, has produced some of the most elegant and prestigious works of crystal and glass. Holding the distinction of being the world’s only Belgian glassworks, Val Saint Lambert creates exquisite items including ashtrays, serveware, vases and sculptures.
Founded by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company opened its first glassworks in 1826. Its quality manufacturing of heavy-lead crystal and the expert craftsmanship of its wares quickly led to the company’s popularity.
In 1894, Val Saint Lambert exhibited its geometric-cut crystal at the World’s Fair in Antwerp, Belgium. The central piece was “le Vase des Neuf Provinces,” or “The Vase of the Nine Provinces.” Under the direction of French glassmaker Léon Ledru, it took 30 artisans over 2,000 hours to fashion it from 85 individually crafted pieces. The exposure led to Val Saint Lambert becoming the primary crystal used by the Tsars of Russia and the company’s pieces being sold internationally.
That same year, the company crafted two immense crystal chandeliers for the Maharaja of Gwalior to hang in his palace in India. Weighing almost five tons each and measuring over 42 feet high, they were the largest crystal chandeliers in the world at the time.
The company closed its doors for the duration of World War I but soon reopened. By 1926, it had over 5,000 employees and had a growing demand for its pieces made in the Art Deco style.
During World War II, bombing from German and Allied forces destroyed the main glassworks facility. The company rebuilt, but by 1950, crystal was becoming more of a household item and less of a luxury good.
In the subsequent decades, Val Saint Lambert collaborated with notable names to expand its offerings with sophisticated furniture, including work with Philippe Starck and Frans Van Praet. In 1992, Van Praet designed the famed Sevilla chair for Val Saint Lambert, a piece highly prized by collectors and designers.
In 2014, Belgian manufacturer Jacques Somville took over Val Saint Lambert. In 2018, Belgian entrepreneur George Arthur Forrest acquired the majority of the company. Val Saint Lambert continues to make some of the finest glass and crystal wares in the world.

Val Saint Lambert Crystal Scorpio Dish or Ashtray with Etched Scorpion Motif
By Val Saint Lambert
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A striking piece of Belgian crystal by Val Saint Lambert, featuring an elegantly acid-etched scorpion suspended within a substantial hand-finished crystal form. This sculptural dish showcases the refined craftsmanship for which Val Saint Lambert has been celebrated since the nineteenth century. The deeply polished crystal body creates a magnifying effect around the etched scorpion, allowing the motif to appear almost suspended within the glass. Equally appealing as an ashtray, catchall, candy dish, or decorative object, the piece possesses a sophisticated modernist aesthetic that feels remarkably current. The scorpion motif adds an element of symbolism and intrigue, making it especially desirable for collectors of zodiac-themed objects, desk accessories, and luxury crystal. The substantial weight and optical clarity reflect the quality associated with Val Saint Lambert's renowned Belgian crystal production. Its understated design allows it to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors. Perfect for use on a cocktail table, desk, bar, vanity, or bookshelf, where the engraved scorpion becomes a subtle conversation piece. Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age and use. No significant chips or cracks observed. Styling Ideas: • Display atop a stack of vintage art books...
