Though petite in size, this vase can be considered among Daum Nancy's most visually impactful. The dimensional layering created by highly technical glass techniques and a sensitive attention to color and line leaves a composition that is noteworthy for its incredible depth, creating immediacy in the most important and beautiful aspects of the composition, such as the floral blooms.
