This Art Deco lead crystal vase comes from Belgium around 1930, designed by Charles Graffart for VSL. The piece displays a striking combination of emerald green overlay glass over clear lead crystal, shaped with a stepped rim profile, geometric cut facets, and a fluted base design. The substantial vessel stands 20 cm high and measures 19 cm wide. Positioned on a sideboard top, the vase serves as a prominent decorative accent within a living space. Natural light passes through the thick cased glass layers, highlighting the precise vertical cuts and the deep green tones contrasted against clear crystal sections. The structured silhouette and heavy proportions bring a distinct mid-century design presence to modern interiors, functioning well either empty as a sculptural object or holding floral displays.

FAQs

Wash lead crystal gently by hand using lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth to avoid scratching. Avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock cracking, and never place vintage crystal in a dishwasher.

Position the vase where natural or ambient light can pass through, such as on a window sill, sideboard, or mantelpiece, to highlight its colour and facet work. It can serve as a standalone sculptural object or be paired with neutral contemporary ceramics to create visual contrast.

Authentic pieces typically feature precise, hand-cut facets, sharp structural lines, and significant visual weight due to high lead content. Look for etched maker marks or signatures near the base, as well as distinct clarity and ring resonance characteristic of premium cut lead crystal.

Cased or overlay glass is produced by fusing a layer of coloured glass, such as emerald green, over a core layer of clear lead crystal. Craftspeople then cut through the coloured outer layer to reveal the clear crystal underneath, creating contrasting geometric patterns and faceted panels.

Art Deco glass from the 1930s is characterised by bold geometric shapes, angular faceted cuts, and heavy lead crystal construction. Designers during this period focused on architectural silhouettes and contrasting colours, often using overlay or cased glass techniques to emphasise light refraction.
