Val St Lambert - Just for show...

Lovely to hear the update on the engraved vase.
And I love the new red and blue vase - that's absolutely fabulous.
I think the cut might be referred to as 'lenses' or maybe 'lozenges' perhaps, but I would think of them as 'lenses'?

Anne Tique:
Lenses would make sense, it creates an optic effect, thanks M.
Anne Tique:
Having redone my interior, or rather giving directions to my son and some decorators, I was looking for some new pieces and came across this whopper.
VSL of course, this lamp 'Camée Arlequin' is catalogued for 1973. Produced for a very short period as in 1974 the company went bust and got reorganised. Pieces like this would have been taken out of production after that and not many have survived, due to the size and fragility. It stands at just under one meter high and just for the photo, I have put a 75 cl wine bottle (empty of course) next to it, to put it in perspective.
There are a few models in the Camée collection and these pieces, like this lamp, are signed just VSL in capital letters and the signature is very easy to miss...it took me two weeks to find it, but having the catalogue, I knew what I got. I attribute this to the Belgian artist George Collignon, as he used to sign his pieces for VSL like this and it is catalogued amongst his pieces for VSL in the 1973 catalogue.
One of the largest pieces VSL has produced and a talking point every time I receive somebody at home...an a pain in the neck to dust for my cleaning lady, as she gets wobbly knees every time she approaches it :D
Lustrousstone:
Wow! Lovely Anne
Anne Tique:
Thank you Christine, I'm sure its not to everyone's taste due to its size and 'presence' and you can't ignore it, but it works well with some of the 70's pieces that I've got now. I've got the space, so it is not too large on the eye, if that makes sense.
