DAUM France signed, Glass Bowl Collection art piece, French online glass, 60s

Singular crystal plate signed DAUM France.

This beautiful Vintage small center, bowl or ashtray shows an original design and the heavy glass forms a very original diagonal quadrilateral outline.  Its unique shape, since it is not exactly rhomboid, could be defined as prismatic and seems inspired in nature, specifically in the shape of flowers.

Nature and its rounded, harmonious and delicate shapes have inspired Daum's creations since the Art Nouveau period, of which Daum had acted as the lead actor.

A classic piece from the sixties of solid glass with a spectacular shine, typical of that time.

In good general condition, the piece presents a minimal chip on the base and lower edge, practically not visible when standing upright and scratches the size of a hair on the bottom without gravity (see pictures, please).  Otherwise it is in a good state of conservation, without cracks or damage.

Signed in acid at the edge
"Daum France".

* Daum is a crystal studio based in Nancy, France, founded by Jean Daum in 1878.
His sons, Auguste and Antonin Daum, oversaw its growth during the burgeoning Art Nouveau period.  Currently Daum became known for his crystal manufacturer employing the pâte de verre (glass paste) process for art glass and crystal sculptures, a technique in which crushed glass is packed into a refractory mold and then fused in a kiln.

Daum, the legendary glassmaker master,
has kept alive for more than a century a love relationship with the greatest artists of its time, giving their work of art a second life of crystal and colours. From the Ecole de Nancy, from Art Nouveau to Art Decoratif, from Majorelle to Dali, Arman and Hilton McConnico, Daum has not missed any of the magic rendez-vous of the artistic creation and modern savoir-faire, which has always renewed the alliance online of art and art craft.
Few brands have worked with as many artists: for nearly 140 years, more than 350 exceptional signatures have constituted a heritage beyond compare, a unique collection.
