Daum Nancy, Dragonfly tray
ITEM # 3202010
Daum Nancy doesn't get much better than an applied and wheel-carved dragonfly. The glass was molten applied and then hand-carved by an artisan. The result is a realistic, 3-dimensional dragonfly flying above a pond with flowers and leaves. How cool is that? 5½" x 5½". Engraved signature underneath DAUM NANCY, together with the Cross of Lorraine. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Farm vase
ITEM # 3201005
Daum Nancy's Farm scene is one of the rarest and most desirable of all decorations. And this example is special. It was painted by B.S., Daum Nancy's best artist, and it shows. The color and details are masterful. It's 14" tall, signed by Daum Nancy and artist signed B.S. It' one of the most beautiful Daum Nancy vases I've ever owned. Mint condition. FOR THE BEST COLLECTIONS!
Daum Nancy, Floral martelé vase
ITEM # 2606059
Martelé backgrounds in glass were meant to simulate hammered metal surfaces. Since glass can't be hammered, the effect had to be created by hand-carving each and every "dent". It makes for a beautiful effect on this lovely 7" Daum Nancy floral vase. Signed underneath with a fancy engraved and gilded signature. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Insects box
ITEM # 3201003
Daum Nancy Nancy items with applied and wheel-carved insects are important and sophisticated. The insects were applied with molten glass, with a piece of colored metal foil in the middle. After the box cooled, a glass artist carved the bugs, complete with legs that extend into the box itself. The metal foil reflects in the bugs, giving them nice color. The same for the cabochons. They were carved and faceted by wheel-carving. This box has an amazing three insects and two cabochons. It's museum-quality. Nice size at 4½" wide x 5" long. Engraved signature underneath. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Marine tumbler
ITEM # 3208006
This is such a lovely example of Daum Nancy's marine scenes. It has great color and wispy lines in the background. 5" tall. Signed in enamel on the underside Daum Nancy Nancy, together with the Cross of Lorraine. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Peacock feather bowl
ITEM # 2601006
Daum Nancy Peacock Feather vases are very sophisticated because of the difficult techniques used to produce them. Most of the work on the bowl is standard acid-etching, but not the centers of the feathers. The light blue and dark blue glass was applied when the glass was molten, then pressed into the bowl on the marver. The process is called padding, which makes for special vases. I only get one or two Peacock Feather items yearly and they sell very quickly. This example measures 3½" tall x 6¾" diameter. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Red scenic vase
ITEM # 2712008
Daum Nancy liked this particular red scene, so they produced it on a variety of shapes and sizes. This example has an elegant shape, in a perfect cabinet size, 8". The color is strong and the detail is superb. Signed in enamel on the side of the vase, DAUM NANCY, together with the Cross of Lorraine. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Scenic vase
ITEM # 3301003
Daum Nancy produced many scenic vases, usually an assortment of designs that they repeated over and over on different shapes. I have never seen this particular scene before, so it's quite rare. It's funny what gets my juices flowing. And seeing something I haven't seen before does it. The workmanship is outstanding, as well as the colors. The rectangular shape is very desirable. At 5" tall, it's the perfect cabinet size. Signed Daum Nancy Nancy, together with the Cross of Lorraine, in black enamel, low down on the side. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Sweet pea vase
ITEM # 2806007
Sweet peas have lovely flowers, as beautifully depicted on this special-shaped vase on all four sides. The techique is acid-etching, followed by hand-painted enameling. It results in highly-detailed, realistic flowers. The rectangular-shaped mouth is moderately rare and desirable. The cameo signature DAUM NANCY, is acid-etched in the background, together with the Cross of Lorraine. The vase measures 4" tall x 7" long x 3" wide -- a perfect cabinet size. The condition is mint.
Daum Nancy, Winter bowl
ITEM # 2506056
Winter scenics were very popular when they were new, so they're not rare. The good news is that they're equally popular today, so they're desirable. This 6" diameter pinched bowl is a lovely example, with excellent detail and great color. The shape is classically Daum Nancy, with pinched sides. Signed in black enamel on the side. Mint condition.
Daum Nancy, Winter vase
ITEM # 2702007
Daum Nancy Winter vases are not rare, but they are very desirable and highly collectible. This Winter example is at the front of the pack because of the very rare and desirable flattened shape with delicate turned handles. Most of the time, the shape is neutral to a vase's value, but other times it's very important. This is one of those times. Daum Nancy Winter vases don't get any better. 7" tall. Black enamel signature underneath. Mint condition (which is very important with such delicate handles.)
