Bud Vase
Daum Frères, Nancy, France
French, established 1875
c. 1910
A delicate blown painted glass bud vase by Daum Frères, made around 1910 to present a single bloom as a sculptural, elongated accent.
A narrow, tapering neck rises from a rounded teardrop base, its deep blue surface mottled with molten red and green enamel that reads like a tiny, abstract landscape.
Produced in the Art Nouveau era, this work shows Daum's mastery of surface chemistry and painterly glazing, helping to elevate decorative glass into modern art objects.
