Daum Nancy Glass Vase with Enameled and Etched “Fleurs et Abeilles” Design

This French Art Nouveau enameled and etched “Fleurs et Abeilles” glass vase by Daum Nancy features an unusual and wildly undulating form that is countered neatly by the tightly executed landscape that decorates its organic curves, bulges, dips and valleys. Climbing from a deeply, darkly colored base upward to the bright, nearly translucent bright yellow rim of the vase are a field of ultra-finely rendered red orchid blooms with framing leaves and strong stems. The base of the uniquely shaped vase is decorated with an abstracted vegetal form.
