Founded by the Daum family in Nancy, France, this renowned glassmaking firm reached prominence during the Art Nouveau movement. They quickly developed their unique style, using labor-intensive techniques like multi-layered acid etching and hand carving. Their fluid, organic motifs, as seen in this vase, have become emblematic of Daum’s work, and their dedication to craft was recognized with the Grand Prix at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, solidifying their position as masters of glass artistry.
