How do you identify Daum crystal?
To identify Daum crystal, look for the maker's mark, usually found at the bottom of the piece. Most crystal ware produced by the luxury maker will feature the brand's logo or a hand-applied artist's signature. You can compare the markings on your piece with images featured on trusted online resources to learn more about them. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer for assistance with identification. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Daum crystal.

French Art Deco Glass Vase by Daum, Thick Blown Green Glass, 1930s
By Daum
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
A striking French Art Deco glass vase by Daum, crafted in Nancy, France, during the 1930s. This sculptural vintage vase is made from thick hand-blown glass in a rich green tone, with subtle internal bubbles and natural variations that give the surface exceptional depth and character. Its broad, asymmetrical silhouette reflects the refined modernism of the Art Deco period while retaining the organic quality associated with handcrafted French art glass. The substantial walls create a strong architectural presence, while the translucent green color shifts beautifully according to the surrounding light. Displayed near a window or under focused lighting, the vase reveals nuanced shades ranging from deep emerald to softer olive green. The base is signed “Daum + Nancy France,” confirming its authenticity and origin. Founded in Nancy in the late 19th century, Daum became one of France’s most celebrated glassmakers, renowned for its technical innovation, artistic experimentation, and collaborations with leading designers and artists. With its generous proportions and bold form, this Daum vase makes an impressive decorative statement on a console, sideboard, pedestal, mantel, or contemporary coffee table. It may be displayed as a standalone sculptural object or used for a restrained floral arrangement. The vase remains in very good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with its period and use. An exceptional addition to a collection of Daum Nancy glass, French Art Deco decorative arts, 1930s design, or important European studio glass. Dimensions: Height: 7.5 in. (19 cm) Width: 8.7 in. (22 cm) Depth: 5.7 in. (14.5 cm) Maker: Daum Origin: Nancy, France Period: 1930s Material: Thick hand-blown and bubbled green glass...
