Daum Nancy Wheel-Carved Floral Cameo Glass Pitcher Vase
$16,500
This French Art Nouveau wheel-carved cameo glass pitcher vase, by Daum Nancy, is a delicate piece that features a mottled, milky white, cloud-like background with smokey, mottled blue mountains rising just before the break to the foreground. The foreground, carved in delicate, exacting relief, depicts flowering white jonquil daffodils with yellow centers framed by sinuous, wispy elongated leaves.
