Is the name of your piece not Luxval, perhaps?
The VSL on your label means Val St. Lambert, Ross - (or am I teaching grandmothers to suck eggs?)

Loads of different patterns in the range  'sergil' 'egmont' 'baden' to name a few, sell well normally a lot listed as celery vases a catalogue link here if you scroll down quite a few pages of the different ones here definitely '30s but not sure how long after they continued making them?

There's some interesting info on Luxval in the link below, although needs translating via your Internet browser unless you speak French that is....

Here's a little translated info about the production of Luxval..(taken from the above link)            

"All these defects may have explained the commercial failure of Luxval. Currently, Luxval are back in fashion as a good number of products "popular" as well as in another area of ​​the earthenware dishes Brothers Boch La Louviere Belgium. A large part of the production is inspired by the Art Deco style. Many pieces of this style were produced in 1935 as models "Noemie", "Edward", "Romeo", "Victoria", "Marcelle." Val St. Lambert certain collections will continue until the '50s: lots of decorative objects but also the dishes in the style of that time.

In the 1950 catalog, there are a number of productions created in 1935 especially collections of tableware flat sides as "A", SHELL, ECLAT, SEVERIN, RITZ, ASIA. It seems that the VAL SAINT LAMBERT have succeeded all too late to improve product quality LUXVAL produced between 1961 and 1975. Rarely found in certain parts CRYSTAL White initially produced a mold LUXVAL but sold under the name LUXVAL .."

Thanks to you Sue, Chris & Greg - but I was aware this was a VSL prodsuct - and I had found the catalog shown by Chris (that is the Pamela's catalog I referred to).  I also found the reference Greg was able to find and the translated version makes good reading - BUT none of the photos in the original work any more.  So I am still looking for someone who may have a more recent catalog or whatever for enlightenment.

Thank you Satsumaxx.

People like you(and on occasion me) have knowledge they are willing to share and we glassies tend to be very generous with that knowledge.  I hope you are able to derive the benefits this group bring.
