DAUM NANCY ART DECO ACID CUT GLASS VASE

DAUM NANCY ART DECO ACID CUT GLASS VASE

Daum Freres, working from their glass works in Nancy, France, produced some of the best French Art Deco glass. This is a spectacular color, with metallic inclusions and a deeply acid-cut complex geometric design, and of impressive size. The vase is finished by hand using engraving wheels - a very time-consuming technique which creates different subtle textures. A very powerful piece.
