This set of fourteen crystal wine (or water) glasses may be amongst the finest sets of glassware I have ever carried. Val St. Lambert was founded in 1826 in Seraing, Belgium. The crystal was produced to the highest standards in a Medieval Cistercian abbey—with devoted customers in Belgium, Netherlands, New York and Tsarist Russia.
This pattern, called "Riviera Clear," was made between 1961 and 1982. It is a handsome combination of classic wine goblet design and Modernist simplicity. Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome set of glasses.
