Daum Nancy France Blue Crystal Vase With Cut Ribs Circa 1930

A flared vase with cut ribs, in blue crystal – Signed DAUM Nancy France with the Cross of Lorraine. From 1924, the signature became "Daum Nancy France". From its inception, the Cross of Lorraine was always included in the signature until 1945; since then, the signature has been simply "Daum France" in a very simple and refined style. This vase was also made for the Marquise de Sévigné, but this one does not bear that inscription. Very good condition. Height: 14 cm Diameter: 15.5 cm THE HOUSE OF DAUM Since 1878, Daum, the legendary glassmaker, has maintained a close relationship with the greatest artists of its time for over a century, giving their works a second life in crystal and color. From the Nancy School and Art Nouveau to the Decorative Arts, from Majorelle to Dalí, Arman, and Hilton McConnico, Daum has been present at every magical encounter of artistic creation and modern craftsmanship, this ever-renewed marriage of art and craft. Few brands have worked with so many artists: in almost 140 years, more than 350 exceptional signatures have formed an incomparable heritage, a collection unlike any other. How to translate these works into crystal sculptures? Therein lies the secret of Daum, manufacturer of the exceptional, highly skilled workshop, laboratory of wonders, couturier of unparalleled objects. Sincerely, Philippe Verdier
