ABOUT
Ikebana is the Japanese art of of beautifully arranging cut stems, leaves, and flowers in vases and other containers that evolved in Japan over seven centuries. To arrange the stems and flowers exactly as one wishes, a familiarity with many different ways of fastening and positioning them is necessary. In ikebana, blossoms, branches, leaves, and stems find new life as materials for art making. In contrast to the western habits of casually placing flowers in a vase, ikebana aims to bring out the inner qualities of flowers and other live materials and express emotion.
The principles of ikebana are:
Silence – It is a time to observe and work with nature.
Minimalism – It is influenced by Buddhism and its ideal of minimalism.
Shape and Line – Ikebana emphasizes shape.
The Buddhist desire to preserve life lies at the root of much of ikebana practice, and has created most of the rules of flower arrangement, controlling also the shapes of the flower vases, formed as to help to prolong the life of the flowers. During the 15th century, society changed drastically, much as it did during the Renaissance period in Europe, and practicing ikebana began formally as a secular endeavor. In the beginning, it was an important activity of the nobility and arrangers were chiefly Buddhist priests and samurai.
While we might consider flowers to be inherently feminine, ikebana was for centuries a predominantly male tradition, although it was practiced by both sexes.

- Daum Nancy French Art Deco Acid Etched Pâte-de-Verre Flower Vase, ca. 1930By DaumLocated in New York, NYThis geometric, floral inspired 1930s French Art Deco deeply acid etched pâte-de-verre elegant flower vase bears the signature Daum Nancy on the base edge. There is a nice weight to the thick-walled heavy glass. It has a beautiful amber yellow color etched right through to the clear. Sophisticated in its simplicity, the design consists of geometrically-stylized leaves and flowers encircling a vase, with a smooth banded edge at the top. Period: Ca. 1930’s Style: French Art Deco. Medium: Acid Etched Pâte-de-Verren Art Glass. Dimensions: Height: 6.875” x max. diameter: 6.875” x opening diameter: 3.375” Markings: Engraved on the base edge, ‘Daum Nancy’ Condition: Good antique condition. No chips or cracks. No damages, no restorations. Maker: Daum Freres of Nancy, France The success of the Daum glass company is directly a result of its excellent management and entrepreneurial spirit. The accidental founder of the company was Jean Daum (1825-1885). He was a financier of the company when it was known as the Verrerie Sainte Catherine. This company quickly hit hard times and it was Jean Daum who took control of it before it failed. Daum was not an artist by trade. He was a notary and industrialist. This new venture was a trial by fire. The first glass produced by Daum is collectible, but it was not art glass. They made mostly clear glass with gold rims to be used while dining. It wasn’t until the 1890s that Daum began producing what we think of today as “Daum Nancy” glass. Daum glass is thought to be made by the Daum Freres (brothers). This was not accurate when the company first began operating. It was Jean Daum and his son Auguste Daum (1853-1909) who laid the ground work for Auguste and his brother Antonin Daum (1864-1930) to lead the company in the early 20th century. All Daum glass is handmade, but that certainly shouldn’t lead the reader to believe that Daum was a mom and pop...Category
