An impressive and rare 1920s Art Deco vase by Daum Nancy, France, standing at a commanding 65 cm (25.5 inches) in height. This elegant blown glass vase features a slender, flared neck and a broad base, richly hued in layered shades of amethyst and violet. The surface shimmers with painterly depth and includes four delicate, gilded leaf inclusions—applied during the hot-glass process—creating a luxurious contrast against the moody, mottled ground. The impressionistic treatment is both organic and refined, a hallmark of Daum’s decorative innovations during the early 20th century. Signed on the heel with “Daum Nancy France” and the Cross of Lorraine, this piece exemplifies the studio’s mastery of color, texture, and form during the height of the Art Deco movement.
