Daum - Vase - polychrome cameo glass - Perfume bottle

Exclusive cylindrical perfume bottle (or salt cellar) in multistratum glass, a masterpiece of the prestigious Daum Nancy Manufacture, dating from 1900-1910. The piece is distinguished by its rare complete silver mount finely chased with raised floral motifs.

The bottle is a sublime example of "luxury-use glassware":
- Multistratum Glass and "Vitrifications": the body features a marvelous apple-green marmoriz ed bottom at the base, obtained with inclusions of glass powders, fading to amber and brown‑orange tones toward the top.
- Cameo Decor and Enamels: the floral decoration (likely tulips) is created through acid engraving and subsequently hand finished with polychrome enamels, giving the design a tactile and vibrant texture.
- Double Original Mounting: the bottle is complete with its internal screw cap (for hermetic seal) and an external protective "drinking glass"-style silver cap with a coordinated base, both decorated with refined embossed floral motifs.
- Satin Finish: the glass surface is entirely acid-worked to achieve a velvety, opaque (matte) appearance.

Author: Daum Nancy (marked with the Lorena Cross incised on the base).
Era: Circa 1905 (Art Nouveau).
Condition: Excellent. Glass intact with no chips or hairlines. The metal mounts are original, functional, and show a beautiful antique patina. Legible signature.

Complete Daum bottles with all their original metal parts are extremely difficult to find. The combination of cameo-etched glass, painted enamel, and worked silver places this piece in an elite market tier, making it a safe investment.
