Val Saint Lambert 'Danseuse' Style Crystal Lotus Bowl

This is a heavy, clear lead crystal decorative bowl featuring a distinctive lotus or floral petal motif. The piece is constructed with thick, substantial glass that tapers into six prominent, rounded, undulating lobes that mimic the unfurling of a flower. This Mid-Century Modern organic design is highly characteristic of European glassworks such as Val Saint Lambert, Orrefors, or Daum from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The crystal exhibits high clarity with excellent light refraction, indicating a high lead content. The bowl sits on a small, circular, integrated base that provides stability for the wide, flared top. Observation shows no major chips or cracks on the petal rims, though there appears to be light surface scratching on the underside of the base consistent with shelf wear. The craftsmanship is of high quality, evidenced by the smooth fire-polished edges and the absence of visible mold seams, suggesting a hand-finished or blown process. There are no immediate maker's marks visible in the photograph, though such pieces are often signed with an acid-etched signature on the base or originally bore a foil label.
