Rare Lalaing essay

Height 17 cm.

We have never seen tableware in Lalaing before. The large centerpiece has beautifully polished sides and a closely polished edge. There is a minor flaw on the edge, but otherwise it is in perfect condition. Lalaing was originally manufactured in Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, but was manufactured for a short period of time at Holmegaard Glassworks. The two glassworks entered into the first import agreement in 1871 for 34 glass services, which was renegotiated several times and greatly reduced. However, Lalaing remained an import until World War I, when Holmegaard obtained a license to manufacture the glass and continued to do so until 1934. Production continued in Belgium until the 1960s. The glass is mouth-blown crystal glass with a beautiful hollow air stem. It is polished with wide facets that run the entire height of the glass, from foot to cuppa. This gives the glass a hexagonal foot.
