Large Daum Nancy soliflore - orange marbled blown glass - H=41cm

Antique soliflore in orange marbled glass, signed Daum Nancy at the base, accompanied by the Cross of Lorraine. This piece is a production of the 1920s, at the crossroads of Art Nouveau and Art Deco: a slender and balanced form, soberly decorated, in a transitional aesthetic between organic curves and clean lines. This piece is distinguished by its shape: a domed base extending into a long, thin neck. The whole presents a play of transparencies and nuances, obtained thanks to the technique of blown glass, then marbled, with the inclusion of colored powders. Each piece in this series is unique, the result of demanding artisanal work Dimensions: Height: 41 cm Diameter at the base: 11.5 cm Condition: Very good general condition. No chips or cracks. There are some slight marks of time as well as minimal original irregularities, characteristic marks of artisanal glasswork (presence of fine bubbles, slight variations in texture). Founded in Nancy in 1878, Daum is a major figure in French glassmaking. Since the late 19th century, it has distinguished itself through innovative production combining cutting-edge techniques with naturalist inspiration. This vase bears witness to the legacy of the Nancy School, while heralding the evolution towards the geometric elegance of Art Deco. Very carefully packaged.
