Circa 1900, Val St. Lambert, Belgium. This delightful turn-of-the-century vase is masterfully cut in an exquisite Art Nouveau motif. Foliate tulips interspersed with butterflies around the collar surmount a bold fluted base, giving it visual balance. The delicate purple color is rare and the combination of clear, frosted, and half-tone lavenders complement it perfectly. The time and skill that went into creating a masterwork of this caliber is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and art of the cutters and designers at Val St. Lambert.
