Cameo Glass Quattre Lobed Bowl Description
A beautiful cameo glass quattre lobed bowl, acid etched and enamelled by Daum. Signed in cameo Daum Nancy and with the cross of Lorraine. French c 1895. Stunning quality
The Daum brothers Jean-Louis Auguste (1853-1909) and Jean-Antoine (1864-1930) took over their fathers glass house in Nancy. Unbelievably skilled and creative pieces were generated as part of the Art Nouveau movement .After starting out as shaky and uncertain due to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Daum Frères glassware, located in Nancy, the capital of glass masters, finally acquired a great national reputation then internationally with its participation in the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Cameo glass pieces were produced in a series, typically acid cut, sometimes with added enamel. Nature and landscapes were commonly used themes.Then success came rapidly, thanks to the Universal Expositions in Lyon, Bordeaux, Brussels, etc. Finally, the Daum glassware received the first prize for glass at the Paris Exposition in 1900. Commissions became more numerous and the Daum family managed to innovate and propose new forms.
Daum glassware is one of the few companies to have retained its family character for over a century.The company is still producing glass today - albeit of a completely different style but still with the same high quality.
