Daum Nancy – Art Nouveau Vase “Bleeding Hearts”

Superb trumpet-shaped vase on a pedestal foot, made of triple-layered glass. The piece features a magnificent naturalistic decoration of Bleeding Hearts, finely acid-etched in cameo relief, revealing flowering branches in subtle shades of moss green and bright green.

The milky, opalescent background, acid-textured to create an Amati effect, is delicately enhanced with interlayer touches of pink at the base and neck.

A remarkable technical feature: the flared neck and the base of the pedestal foot display exquisite partial wheel-hammering. This faceted treatment creates striking geometric contrasts and captures the light beautifully.

Wheel-engraved signature, highlighted with gold.

Period: 1890–1900.
