This impressive vase is executed in an elegant baluster form, rising gracefully from a rounded base and complemented by two applied double handles that enhance its sculptural silhouette. The surface is beautifully decorated in a sophisticated mottled combination of deep black and rich green tones, with subtle marbled transitions that create a wonderfully layered and organic appearance throughout the glass. The softly blended coloration gives the vase considerable depth, while the irregular mottled pattern adds movement and visual interest. The restrained yet dramatic palette makes this an exceptionally versatile decorative piece, equally suited to traditional, European, or more contemporary interiors.
The vase measures approximately 17.5 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, giving it an impressive presence while maintaining an elegant and refined profile. Its substantial scale and sculptural form make it particularly effective displayed on a mantel, console, pedestal, or as part of a collection of fine French art glass. The piece reflects Daum's celebrated use of acid-etched and internally decorated glass techniques, resulting in a richly textured and sophisticated surface. It is signed Daum Nancy to the lower body, further identifying its maker and French origin. The vase is in very good antique condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. It has no chips, cracks, or repairs. See less
