 Charles Graffart (1873-1967) was the most distinguished cutter, but many of his works were unique pieces and do not appear in the factory catalogues. 
In Belgium the Val-Saint-Lambert factory was an important producer of heavily cut crystal throughout the period. It is also associated with layered work and was particularly prominent with original work of this nature around
 1900. Later Charles Graffart designed for it wares made in a variety of techniques, some of them with engraved decoration.  'Charles Graffart: graveur au Val-Saint-Lambert et peintre (1893-1967)'
