Art Deco Smoked Glass Vase with Recessed Molded Zig Zag Motif, Signed Daum Nancy, 8'5" High 9" Diameter

This refined Art Deco vase was realized and signed Daum Nancy in France, circa 1930. Handblown in textural molded glass, it offers a tapered conical body with a round cantilevered base and circular mouth in a rich smoked sable hue. A graphic and dramatic zig zag pattern in relief circumscribes the center of the piece. With its sumptuous glass quality and impeccable artisanal construction, this piece promises to delight discerning cameo glass collectors of the period as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. While it is a perfectly functional vase- ideal for presenting flowers- it is also an objet d'art in its own right that would be a winning addition to any surface (such as occasional table, etagere, or console) as well as any style of interior. It is in very good vintage condition. Signed Daum Nancy France. Founded in 1878 by Jean Daum (1825–1885) in Nancy, France, Daum represents one of the preeminent studios of high quality glass and crystal in France's history. Daum
