Silver-Mounted Glass Casket by Daum Nancy

This enchanting green glass and silver casket from renowned French art glass company Daum evokes the verdant lushness of a summer garden. Finely detailed silver clovers and vines encircle rich green glass in this luminescent and highly unique piece.

Daum has been one of the most important names in French art glass since the late 19th century. Employing a team of talented artists, the firm produced both commercial glass and singular pieces of outstanding quality. Daum glass was first produced in about 1872, manufacturing plate glass and tableware for the French market in Nancy, and it was in 1890 that Auguste and Antonin Daum began production on the cameo glass for which Daum is now renowned.
