This beautiful cameo glass inkwell displays the brilliance of the renowned Daum Nancy, a firm long celebrated for their masterful ability to recreate the beauty of nature in glass. A delightful array of vibrant blueberries adorn the top of this inkwell, with intricate foliage enveloping the entirety of the design to capture a lush, verdant aesthetic. Masters of the Art Nouveau style, Daum Nancy was heavily influenced by nature and organic forms.

Daum Nancy glass is among the best and most famous French cameo glass of the Art Nouveau period, known for their mastery of the coveted pâte de verre method initially produced by Auguste and Antonin Daum around 1890. Inspired by the natural world, the brothers produced many floral and scenic works like this one, and the duo would eventually go on to win a Grand Prix medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1900. Very few pieces of this quality would have been made, and unique, hand-crafted inkwells such as this are eagerly sought by collectors all over the world.
