AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant travel perfume bottle in a slender cylindrical shape, crafted by the prestigious Manufacture Daum in Nancy around 1900-1910. The piece is complete with its rare original silver mount, which serves both as an airtight seal and as protection.

- Multilayer Glass and Cameo: The body is made of multilayer glass with a splendid gradient that shifts from colorless translucent at the base to a deep ruby/cramoisine red toward the top.
- Acid-etched decoration: The surface presents a delicate naturalistic floral motif (leaves and tendrils) obtained through acid etching, creating a pleasant tactile contrast between the glossy and satin-finished (matte) parts.
- Metal mount: The bottle retains its original threaded bezel and the coordinating silver screw-cap with vintage patina, essential for preserving the essences during transport.
- Precious miniature: The small size and flat base (bearing the signature) make this object a perfect example of high-luxury "usage glassware" typical of the era.

- Author: Daum Nancy (signed with the black enamel Lorena Cross beneath the base).
- Era: Circa 1900-1910 (Art Nouveau).
- Condition: Excellent. The glass is intact, with no chipping or inclusions. The metal mount is original and functional. The signature is legible.

Daum Nancy perfume bottles with original, complete metal mounts are highly sought after pieces, as components were often lost or replaced over time. The red gradient coloration is one of the most iconic and collectible features of the manufactory.
