This rare and exceptional Daum Nancy swan vase has two swans, each facing a different way, and trees and foliage against a mottled light blue background. The cameo trees and foliage have vitrified green highlights in the white. Swans have gray and black enameled highlights with orange beaks. Pond grasses in the background are enameled gray. The detail, color and contrast are truly outstanding.
The 9 5/8" tall vase has a baluster shape. The top lip is 1 3/4" in diameter. The base is 2 1/4" in diameter. The widest point is 2 3/4" in diameter.
Black enamel signature underneath DAUM NANCY, together with the Cross of Lorraine and the initials L.W.
Mint condition. A spectacular addition for the best collections!
I inherited this stunning art glass piece from my grandmother who inherited it from her uncle in 1973. He was an art glass collector in California. I have inherited about 50 pieces from his extensive collection and have listed some of them for sale.
Please look at the photos carefully as they are the most important part of the description.
This beautiful art glass vase is an excellent investment and hedge against inflation. It’s a great way to diversify your portfolio while having an object of beauty to own and enjoy.
More about Daum:
For collectors, Daum is a name in the first rank of the French makers of art glass, along with those of Émile Gallé and René Lalique. Led in its early decades by the brothers Auguste (1853–1909) and Antonin Daum (1864–1931), the company, based in the city of Nancy, established its reputation in the Art Nouveau period, and later successfully adopted the Art Deco style.
In 1878, lawyer Jean Daum took over the ownership of a glassworks as payment for a debt and installed his sons as proprietors. Initially, Daum made glass for everyday purposes such as windows, watches and tableware, but the success that Gallé enjoyed at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris — the international showcase for which the Eiffel Tower was built — inspired the Daum brothers to begin making art-glass pieces. They produced popular works of cameo glass, a decorative technique in which an outer layer of glass is acid-etched or carved off to reveal the layer below, but Daum became best known for vessels and sculptures in pâte de verre — a painstaking method in which finely ground colored glass is mixed with a binder, placed in a mold and then fired in a kiln.
Though early Daum glass was never signed by individual artists, the firm employed some of the masters of the naturalistic, asymmetrical Art Nouveau style, including Jacques Grüber, Henri Bergé and Amalric Walter (whose first name is frequently misspelled). Daum also collaborated with furniture and metalware designer Louis Majorelle, who created wrought-iron and brass mounts for vases and table lamps. In the 1960s, Daum commissioned fine artists, most notably Salvador Dalí and sculptor César Baldaccini, to design glass pieces.
It will be well wrapped and sent with full insurance from a smoke-free home. US buyers only please.
