About the Item

This refined Art Deco amphora vase was realized and signed Nancy Daum in France circa 1925. It features an undulating body flanked on its neck by two rounded handles- all in mottled lilac glass wrapped by a channeled translucent glass exterior. With its sumptuous glass quality and dramatic, graphic form, this piece promises to delight discerning cameo glass collectors of the period as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. While it is a perfectly functional vase- ideal for presenting flowers- it is also an objet d'art in its own right that would be a winning addition to any surface (such as occasional table, etagere, or console) as well as any style of interior. It is in excellent vintage condition. Signed Daum. Founded in 1878 by Jean Daum (1825–1885) in Nancy, France, Daum represents one of the preeminent studios of high quality glass and crystal in France's history. Daum was awarded a ‘Grand Prix’ medal in the Universal Exhibition of 1900. During the early part of the 20th century, Daum glass became more elaborate, incorporating acid etching (pioneered by the craftsman Jacques Grüber). This technique was often combined with carving, enamelling, and engraving on a single piece of glass to produce incredibly entailed glass masterworks. Starting in 1906, Daum revived pâte de verre (glass paste), an ancient Egyptian method of glass casting, developing the method so that by the 1930s Daum's window panels used pâte de verre for depth and color intensity instead of leaded or painted glass. Today, Daum continues to employ this technique to produce their pieces. Since their inception, Daum has collaborated with celebrated artists and designers including Phillipe Starck, Salvador Dali, and Arman in the creation of their glass pieces, and remains one of the most renowned and relevant glass studios in history. France, circa 1925 Dimensions: 17.5" H x 8" W x 6" D.
