Description
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.
