Daum Summer Landscape pillow vase

Daum Summer Landscape pillow vase. A stunning, large pillow vase showing a summer landscape. Beautifully enamelled and very finely acid etched with a leafy canopy of trees and a sunlight dappled woodland landscape in summer. The use of the intercalaire technique for the background to the landscape further enhances the detail of this charming piece. Signed in black enamel to the underside  - Daum Nancy and with the cross of Lorraine . 12 cm tall. This is a stunning piece and a very fine example of the master craftsmanship of Daum. Excellent original condition. One very tiny production flaw.

French circa 1900-1910

The Daum Glassworks was established in Nancy, France in 1875 and is still making glass today albeit of a very different style. The family were originally Lawyers not glassmakers. Jean Daum the father of Antonin and Auguste originally took over the glassworks as part payment of a debt. Auguste (also a lawyer) joined his Father shortly afterwards and started to develop and expand the business.  Auguste and Antonin and  later Michel were the main family members involved in the major development of the Company. The Company employed major designers including Jacques Gruber, Amalric Walter, Henri Bergé, and in more recent times Philippe Stark and Salvador Dali. They developed and  patented many techniques in glassmaking and were always at the forefront of design and manufacturing. In 1900 at the Exposition Universelle they were awarded a Grand Prix medal and quickly became one of the major makers in the Art Nouveau movement.
