Daum Nancy Cameo and Martelé Glass "Crocus" Vase
A French wheel certainly carved this cameo and martelé glass "Crocus" vase by Daum Nancy. The base of this remarkable vase is colored in deep, swampy purples, against which darker-hued carved vegetal aspects barely hide in shadows. This dark and lustrous base gives way to a bright and textured lavender and orange dawn sky, in front of which a single crimson red crocus blossom stands, only barely unfurled.
