A wonderful and very useful design. Modernist point of view with triangles and 1/4 circles in two color enamel glass. Yellow and black, quite rare really.

Most likely designed by Karl Palda. Very high quality enamel paint, not hand painted after.

About Daum Glass
Daum excelled in the production of Art Deco glassware and its designers favoured geometric forms as well as thicker and more transparent glass which contrasted with slender shapes and flowing lines of Art Nouveau glassware so popular at the turn of the century.. In the 1920s, the Art Nouveau colours inspired by nature changed to the colours which dominated contemporary abstract paintings, such as topaz, blues and ambers. Designs were increasingly monochromatic and variations of moon white, beige, glacier blue and light yellows were particularly popular. Vases, bowls and lamp shades no longer relied on the glassblowing technique but were cast and decorated with cut and acid-etched stylised patterns, as illustrated by this vase. The new manager Paul Daum was chemist by training and experimented with the use of hydrofluoric acid to vary surface textures of the glass. Towards the middle of the 1920s, friezes, volutes, curved beams or chevron patterns gave rhythm to compositions. Fully signed around the bottom edge DAUM NANCY FRANCE with the croix de Lorraine

This is quite a nice piece, one does not typically find glass by Leleu, but here is a wonderful transitional piece, probably done around 1925. You have this very ornate floral rim, much like Lalique, Sabino, D' Avsen and other great French glass illustrators of this period. You can see the wonderful play of vertical ribbed glass which completes itself in the deep floral rim, even some of the original red coloring remains on the rim. The other wonderful detail is the base, the metal is designed to look like Galuchat or shagreen. It was certainly the rage at this time. The glass is heavy and typical of the high quality work that was done during this time.

Very large and unusual detailed large glass vase with unique metalwork. Looks to be of German origin, the metal work is highly stylized and detailed. The top represents the "sun", on both sides with wonderfully fitted with a starburst metal collar design that covers this very ornate leaf and flower etched clear glass vase. The piece is secured in a wonderful stable metal base. It quality of the metal finish is original antique nickel over bronze metal. A very unusual item for our shop not only with an art deco but also a Nouveau point of view.

This stunning and extremely rare 1930s Art Deco peach/amber glass vase was manufactured by the Müller Freres in Luneville, France. A superb vase that sports a magnificent and quite complex floral and animal motif in a nice stepped vase design. A strong sense of depth has been achieved by embossing or beveling part of the glass, producing very sharp details and a wonderfully tactile effect. The beauty of this vase is further reinforced by the satinated surface achieved by masterly polishing techniques. The glass of this vase is very thick and as such the vase is quite hefty. The vase is signed on the bottom "Müller Frères Luneville".

The Measurements:
6" Tall X 6" Diameter (at the top)

About Müller Frères:
The large Muller family originated from Kalhauzenand rested on a long tradition of glass workers. When the German Empire annexed the Elsace in 1871, the Muller family fled (9 brothers and 1 sister) to the quieter Lunéville. The two oldest brothers, Désiré and Eugène Muller, ended up in the glassworks of Emile Gallé, where they learned how to produce art glass (± 1885). The other family members found work in several other glassworks in the surroundings of Lunéville and developed into recognised glassdecorators. Moreover Henri, Pierre and Victor Muller also ended up working for Gallé. Around 1895 the time seemed ripe for Henri Muller to set up an independent glass workshop in Lunéville (rue the Sainte Anne). His brothers reacted enthusiastically and soon joined him, as a result of which the Muller Frères glassworks became a fact. The Mullers mastered all well-known glass decorating techniques and always experimented with new methods. They developed rapidly into a renowned company and established their name for their large diversity and quality (colour setting, decoration and design of their vases and lamps). During the first World War the Muller Frères glassworks closed its doors and the family members spread out over France, working for different glassworks (for instance Camille, Jean and Auguste went to "Landier Et Houdaille" in Sèvres and Émile worked at Choisy-Le-Roi). In this period they designed an Art Deco line, where decorations of animals and landscapes were strikingly beautiful. The Müller Frères pieces are often compared to Daum pieces in terms of quality and technique. In 1936 the Müller Frères closed their glassworks.

A beautiful and straightforward 1930s Art Deco fluted glass vase made in France by the Schneider company. Charles Schneider was an important contributor to the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs Modernes and was awarded the French Legion of Honour in 1926. With his brother Ernest and sister Ernestine he managed one of the largest art glass factories in France during the Art Deco period. The works from the Charles Schneider glass factory used all of the glass making techniques that were developed during the 1920s. This particularly elegant piece of glass is perfect with or without adornments and is virtually a study in dynamics. The light refracts radiantly through the acid-etched treatment near the top and gradually diminishes as the umber color deepens near the base. It is a hefty piece of glass that is also wonderful to the touch.
