This pâte de verre vase by Daum Nancy depicts a lakeside landscape in warm shades of orange and brown. The multi-layered glass technique used here creates a play of depth and light that brings the trees and reflections on the water to life. The acid-etched decoration lends finesse and subtle relief to the overall effect.
Daum Nancy is a glassmaker that established itself as a major player in the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th century. Inspired by nature and landscapes, its craftsmen developed innovative methods to create pieces with a timeless aesthetic. This vase perfectly illustrates this spirit, with a scene that evokes the calm of a lakeside at dusk.
Its slightly curved black base ensures elegant stability, while the slender silhouette highlights the details of the décor. This type of vase easily finds its place in any interior, whether it's a collection of antiques or a more contemporary setting.
An object of craftsmanship and tradition, it stands the test of time with a charm that never goes out of fashion. It embodies both the history of an artistic movement and the meticulous work of Nancy's glass artisans.
