Daum Nancy Cameo Glass Cup

This Art Nouveau Daum Nancy glass cup represents an exceptionally rare and particularly graceful model from the renowned French firm. The glassmakers of Daum Nancy have long been celebrated for their masterful ability to recreate the beauty of nature in glass, and that talent is on full display in the present piece. A delicate motif of acid-etched and hand-painted leaves emerges from the frosted background in autumnal hues of oranges, browns and greens. The form has the rare addition of handles, which are evocative of the branches of a plant or tree. Very few pieces of this quality and artistry are found today, and those that appear on the market are dearly sought by collectors all over the world.
