Details and Technical Specifications
- Shape & Style: A slender, modern, and sleek ovoid vase. Its structure of heavy, transparent crystal contrasts with the fluidity of its lines.
- Decorative Technique: The motif is neither cut nor engraved. It consists of a hot-applied crystal element (an “applique”) featuring shifting shades of purple, mauve, and blue with iridescent or chalcedony-like highlights. The body of the vase is also adorned with fine, undulating lines in slight relief, either engraved or carved from the solid crystal, creating a very fluid, organic sense of movement.
- Motif: The central design evokes a stylized natural form, reminiscent of a draped petal, seaweed, or the movement of a flame or wave.
- Dimensions: Height of 24.5 cm.
The second image shows the base of the vase bearing the engraved inscription: "Daum France".
- Date: The fine, cursive script, accompanied by the word “France,” indicates that this is a contemporary piece from the second half of the 20th century (the modern period from the 1960s/1970s to the present), not to be confused with the acid-etched or enameled “Daum Nancy” pieces from the Art Nouveau era.
- Authenticity: The signature is entirely typical of the manufacturer’s engravings on clear crystal pieces from this period.
- Very good condition
