mhgcgolfclub:
A large cut glass vase outer colbalt blue inner uranium glass with a clear base.

I am pretty sure its Val St Lambert from about the 1920's.

Height 10" or 25cm

Weight 1930 gm or 4.4 pounds.

Pictures were teaken with flash , pictures 3and 4 are a true colour.

very attractive Roy.     I assume Pamela's glas-musterbuch notes on VSL are for pressed glass only.       You might like to look at Gerry LaCroix's web comments 'How do you know it's Val-St.-Lambert'  -  may not really help but certainly very interesting  - 
http://www.cutglass.org/articles/val.pdf  -  I hope this works. :-\          One of the triple colour tazza cut patterns he shows occurs in Millers '20th Century Glass' - by Judith Miller (page 163).                      Is the base polished flat - and what is the extent of wear?     A lot of VSL is stylus signed, but how far back this practise started I've no idea, but Ivo might have better information.

Thanks Paul

When I bought I first thought VSL but could not see any mark untill I was outside.

The base is concaved and there is a faint acid etched mark which I think is VSL but cannot read although it has the outer circle and a inner circle with words between the 2 circles and I think a pattern in the center which seems to be right for VSL I hope.

Looking down into the vase a nice colbalt blue base.

Plenty of wear to the outer rim.

Paul S.:
looking at my link (which you can probably re-arrange yourself in order to access) - there doesn't appear to be a backstamp forming a circle containing words, as such.        VSL did/do produce a paper label which contained their name in full plus the word Belgium - all arranged in a circle.         What is this pattern that "seems to be right for VSL?"  ;D            Almost all of their backstamps were/are stylus formed, but an acid one was produced.
Regret that I'm the least knowedgable about Belgian glass - so unable to comment with any authority  -  I think this is the blind (me) leading the not quite so blind ;)
However, it's a very nice vase - was it that town we both know of, again.

Yes I agree there is  a paper label which looks similar which has a flower pattern in the middle, maybe they did also use an acid mark as well . I could be totally wrong and it could be a czech mark but I do not think so .

Will have to wait and see what other people think

I bought the vase at the Kempton fair .

Thanks again

Roy
