An important Art Nouveau cameo glass vase from Daum Nancy’s documented Eucalyptus series, dating to approximately 1913. Developed around 1912–1913, this later naturalistic Daum subject was used for vases and lighting. Multilayered glass, acid etching and contrasting tones evoke eucalyptus branches against the warm light of a setting sun. The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy preserves a related eucalyptus-flower lamp, circa 1913 (inventory no. 83.1.50.1–2). At 42 cm high, the present elongated vase exemplifies Daum’s technical and atmospheric naturalism of this period.
