This delicate cameo glass overlaid and etched cabinet vase was made by the distinguished Daum family. The curving lines of green and white amber plant and flower forms make this work a perfect example of the Art Nouveau style. The "hammered" appearance lends to a dynamic surface and reveals that this miniature piece was crafted using wheel engraving. Daum artisans where extremely gifted in wheel engraving, yet used the method very rarely. Very few pieces of this quality would have been produced, serving as models for industrial production. Unique, hand-crafted vases such as this are dearly sought after by collectors all over the world.
