Daum Autumn Landscape With Crows Fecit 1895

Important exhibition-quality vase in amber acid-etched glass with a heat-formed, gold-highlighted rim.

Continuous landscape of autumn branches and foliage, acid-etched and enhanced with polychrome enamels. The forest and crows are entirely hand-painted in black ink using the highly prestigious grisaille enameling technique.

This exact piece is illustrated on page 31 of the reference book: "Daum, l'histoire centenaire d'une verrerie familiale" by M. Renaud.
