Coppelia Vase from Daum, France, 1980s

Coppelia model vase produced by Daum France.

Refined crystal vase with floral decorations in mauve and pink glass paste.

Produced in the 80s, this vase combines the innovation and history of Daum, a French glassmaker that became famous in the Art Nouveau period precisely for its glass paste vases which then, in a more recent era, left room for use of the crystal.

The French glassworks Daum was founded in Nancy by Jean Daum in 1878.

Daum used complex techniques and brought glass paste, invented by the ancient Egyptians, back into use, these innovations made his glassware state-of-the-art.

In the second half of the 20th century, the glassworks dedicated itself to the production of crystal, managing to achieve a very pure quality, which is often compared to glass paste, and entrusted famous designers such as Philippe Starck with the creation of various collections.

At the base there is the engraved signature Daum France.

The vase is in excellent conservative condition, with no damage due to age, however it has a production defect due to a micro bubble on the front of the work. The defect in question is visible in the photos in the gallery.
