\"\"<\/a>I bought the attractive glasses at the Twindmills Market<\/a> in Colborne.\u00a0 I have had my eyes on them for a long time.\u00a0 We stop there regularly on the way to and from visiting the grandkids in Belleville.<\/p>\n

Walked in the other day and the vendor had a great table full of amber glass on sale.\u00a0 These, and two candlesticks, became mine!<\/p>\n

I had been looking for them for ages, but as the song says……..”looking in all the wrong places!”<\/p>\n

I posted them on the Vintage Glass Identification<\/a> Facebook group and someone had identified them in a very short time.<\/p>\n

The pattern is called Theodule and they were made by Val. St. Lambert.\u00a0 I know nothing about this company and would never have identified these pieces without help.\u00a0 From Wikipedia –<\/p>\n

“Val Saint Lambert<\/b> is a Belgian<\/a>\u00a0crystal<\/a>\u00a0glassware<\/a>\u00a0manufacturer, founded in 1826 and based in\u00a0Seraing<\/a>. It has the royal warrant of\u00a0King Albert .”<\/a><\/p>\n

The company is still in operation – http:\/\/www.val-saint-lambert.com\/index.html<\/p>\n

I found these items online and if various posters are accurate, these pieces were produced during the 1950s.<\/p>\n

Don’t know if they would be wines or water goblets.\u00a0 But they are a great colour of amber and very arresting looking.<\/p>\n
