Vase with a tulip pattern
France, Nancy
Glass
Height 26 cm, base diameter 7 cm, rim diameter 5.4 cm
Signed "Daum Nancy" with the Cross of Lorraine
The vase features an elongated, slightly flattened baluster form with broad, rounded shoulders, a body that smoothly tapers toward the bottom, a short narrow neck, and a small round mouth with a thickened, flared rim. The base is rounded and highlighted by a distinct dark ring band.
The composition is characterized by the expressive combination of rich red and green tones against a subtle silvery-matte ornament covering the vase surface. The primary decorative motif features large red tulips with elongated, closed petals shown from various angles. Flower heads are positioned on the upper part of the body, partially projecting past its silhouette to create the impression of a dimensional, relief-like decor. Long green stems descend vertically toward the base of the vase, emphasizing its slender proportions. The surface between the flowers is filled with an intricate, winding pattern of thin, frosted lines. This design creates a unique decorative backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, transparent surface of the glass and the vibrant coloring of the tulips.
