Acid Etched Vase
Daum Nancy
Circa 1925

This rare and striking Art Deco vase by Daum Nancy represents the pinnacle of French craftsmanship. The spherical form is adorned with deeply acid-etched geometric circles that encircle the work in a harmonious blend of shape and design. This captivating motif encapsulates the period's celebration of modernity and abstraction in smokey glass. The deeply acid-etched decoration is a hallmark of Daum’s masterful technique.

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.
