An exquisite example of late 19th-century French Art Nouveau glassmaking, this rare Daum Nancy vase captures the serene beauty of a Dutch winter scene. Created in 1896, the vase is finely enamelled and acid-etched, depicting a Dutch ice skater, boats, birds, windmill, and bare winter trees set against a snowy opalescent ground.

The harmonious composition, rendered in delicate shades and subtle textures, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship for which Daum was celebrated during the golden age of decorative arts. The opalescent glass shimmers softly in the light, enhancing the quiet, almost poetic atmosphere of the landscape.

Signed Daum Nancy with the Lorraine cross (1896 signature), this piece is not only a testament to the technical mastery of the Daum studio but also a highly desirable collector’s item that bridges fine art and functional design.

A vase of this calibre, combining both painterly enamel work and refined acid-etched detailing, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality example from one of the most important glassmakers of the Art Nouveau period. This piece has an attribution mark,
