Vaas met opgesmolten glaspoeder in paars-rood c. 1910

This "Vaas met opgesmolten glaspoeder in paars-rood" vase, created by Daum Frères around 1910, showcases the French glassmaker's signature style. The vase's elegant, elongated form and rich, purple-red hue are achieved through a complex process of fusing glass powder, resulting in a shimmering, translucent finish. This technique, known as "pâte de verre," allowed for intricate designs and textures that pushed the boundaries of traditional glassmaking. Daum Frères's artistic glass pieces, renowned for their beauty and craftsmanship, were highly sought after by collectors during the Art Nouveau movement.
