A BEAUTIFUL art nouveau DAUM MINIATURE CAMEO VASE FLOWERS SIGNED 1900 #2
A beautiful Art Nouveau cameo glass miniature vase, acid etched and enamel painted flowers. Daum is a crystal studio based in Nancy, France, founded in 1878 by Jean Daum (18251885). His sons, Auguste Daum (18531909) and Antonin Daum (18641931), oversaw its growth during the burgeoning Art Nouveau period.
The Daum family worked at the beginning of the Art Nouveau era and created one of France's most prominent glassworks. Established at the end of the 19th century, Daum's renown was originally linked to the École de Nancy and the art of pâte-de-cristal, a major contributing factor in terms of its worldwide reputation. During the Universal Exhibition of 1900 Daum was awarded a'Grand Prix' medal. Daum glass became more elaborate. Acid etching (by Jacques Grüber) was often combined with carving, enameling, and engraving on a single piece of glass to produce creative glass masterpieces.
The most complicated creations also featured applied glass elements, such as handles and ornamental motifs in naturalistic forms. The Daum brothers soon became a major force in the Art Nouveau movement, seriously rivalling Gallé, so much so that when Émile Gallé died in 1904 they became the leaders in the field of decorative glass. 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 richness instead of leaded or painted glass. Today Daum still uses this method to produce their pieces. Private Collection (Paris / France).Approx 4.8 inch tall (12.1 cm). Little signs of age but not disturbing.
