Vase; France, late nineteenth century. Glass. Signed Daum. Measurements: 28,5 x 8 cm, Art Nouveau style vase made in cameo glass, with representation of plant motifs. Dominate the blue and black tones that create an expressive game of contrast. The Daum manufacture was founded at the end of the 19th century by Augustin Daum (1853-1909), from a small family glassworks in Nancy. He would be joined by his brother Antonin (1864-1931), and Daum's workshops would soon after become a meeting and training place for many young artists, who promoted the Art Nouveau style in Nancy. At first they made ordinary glass, but in 1891 they decided to open a decorative workshop and undertake an artistic production, probably as a result of the success of Émile Gallé (1846-1904) at the 1889 Exhibition.

Estim. 700 - 800 EUR

Vase; France, late nineteenth century. Glass. Signed Gallé. Measurements: 41 x 18 cm (diameter). Vase made in acid-etched cameo glass, with a naturalistic and asymmetrical plant design, based on large motifs, typical of the language of Gallé. In fact the cameo glass is known since ancient times, although it was taken up again in the late nineteenth century in France and England. Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, making designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he traveled through Italy, England and Germany, becoming interested in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature.

Estim. 100 - 200 EUR

Art Nouveau vase; France, late nineteenth century. Glass. It shows wear and scratches. Measurements: 22 x 25 cm (diameter). Vase made of glass with a design inspired by nature, thus combining the fluidity and randomness of the forms in such a way that gives off an aesthetic of the Art Nouveau style, not only in terms of design but also to the structure.
