This one has a flat polished base that is the SAME amethyst color as the body - textbook Val Saint Lambert polished finish with flat polished base. This is how VSL finished their heavy crystal in the 1950s.This is the catalogued Sculpted Heavy Crystal Vase with amethyst core - a traditional favorite color for VSL. Central amethyst has been sculpted with subtle curves by the master craftsmen at Belgium\'s top crystal factory. Heavy - 2.07lbs - feels like crystal, not thin decor glass. Thick walls, heavy base, light bounces through the ribs.Color is deep uniform amethyst - not sommerso - solid throughout. Wavy top is organic draped, not cut. Vertical optic ribs run from base to rim. 4-lobed foot gives it stability and that classic 1950s wobble-free stance. Unsigned as most VSL of this era were - ID is by form, weight, base finish, and color.Excellent vintage condition - no chips, no cracks, no repairs. Base shows light flat wear from table - normal for 70 year old crystal - no damage.
