Daum Nancy — Art Nouveau “eucalyptus” Cameo Glass Vase – Circa 1910 – 28 Cm

Daum Nancy, France
Art Nouveau, circa 1910–1913

Large spindle-shaped vase resting on a circular pedestal base, made of acid-etched multilayered glass.

The speckled glass base features warm shades of yellow, amber, orange, and red, overlaid with a layer of dark green to nearly black glass. The continuous botanical design, etched in relief, depicts eucalyptus branches adorned with long leaves, flowers, buds, and fruits.

The combination of dark eucalyptus foliage with a luminous background in shades of orange and red is characteristic of Daum’s naturalistic Art Nouveau production in the early 20th century. Similar eucalyptus-motif designs by Daum are documented from around 1910–1913.

Signed in relief on the body “Daum Nancy,” accompanied by the Cross of Lorraine.
