Daum Nancy Wheel-Carved Daisy Cameo Glass Vase
This French Art Nouveau wheel-carved cameo glass vase by Daum Nancy serves as an exceptional example of what can be executed within a wonderfully tight color palette, the depth and range of texture, relief and coloration, all within a range of cool blues. Conical in shape, the vase features a mottled bluish-white and sky blue backdrop, against which a bright blue, subtly carved and highly detailed daisy bloom climbs upward. The base is decorated with matte blue-grey leaves that encircle the bottom of the vase as it narrows.
