Daum Nancy “Violet Marbled” Vase – France, c. 1910–1920
Signed “Daum Nancy” (wheel-cut signature)

A tall fusiform vase (H. 39.5 cm) showcasing Daum’s mastery of verre doublé (double-layered glass). The décor features rare violet marbling over a rose ground, a technically demanding process achieved through multiple firings and associated with Daum’s luxury production between 1910 and 1920.

The marbled veining recalls the natural stone effects prized in early 20th-century decorative arts, reflecting Daum’s experiments after 1905 with layered, acid-etched glass. The reddish-violet palette is characteristic of prestigious commissions from the Nancy workshop during the transition from Art Nouveau fluidity to the emerging sobriety of Art Deco.

Signed with the wheel-engraved “Daum Nancy” and Cross of Lorraine, the piece aligns with documented examples in major collections such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy and the Corning Museum of Glass. Its scale and refined execution suggest it was conceived as a « pièce de luxe », likely retailed through Parisian galleries or shown at salons in the immediate pre- and post-war years.
