{"product_id":"daum-lizard-and-butterfly-vide-poche-6886","title":"\"Lizard and Butterfly Vide Poche\" by Daum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis evocative pâte de verre glass vide poche by Daum is beautifully modelled as a naturalistic vignette, combining function with sculptural artistry. A softly contoured dish forms the base, its gently undulating surface rendered in delicate, translucent tones of pale amber, green, and misted ivory. Resting along the rim is a finely observed lizard, its sinuous body curving with quiet poise, the textured surface subtly suggesting scaled skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the foreground, a resting butterfly extends across the edge, its form stylised yet lifelike, adding a sense of movement and narrative tension. The harmonious blending of colours and organic forms captures a fleeting moment from nature, exemplifying Daum’s mastery of the pâte de verre process with a poetic interpretation of the natural world.

Initially producing utilitarian wares, the firm rapidly evolved under the direction of his sons, Auguste and Antonin Daum, who embraced the flourishing Art Nouveau movement. By the late 19th century, Daum had become one of the leading artistic glassmakers in France, renowned for its cameo glass, acid-etched decoration, and naturalistic designs inspired by flora and fauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking alongside artists of the École de Nancy, including Émile Gallé, Daum developed a distinctive style characterised by layered glass, intricate carving, and subtle coloration. In the early 20th century, the firm adapted to the emerging Art Deco aesthetic, producing sleeker, more geometric designs while maintaining exceptional technical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major innovation came with the development of pâte de verre, a technique revived and refined by Daum to create sculptural works with soft, textured surfaces and rich translucency. This process became central to the company’s identity in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Daum continues to collaborate with contemporary artists and designers, producing limited-edition sculptures and objects that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern creativity. From its Art Nouveau origins to its current position as a leader in artistic glass, Daum remains synonymous with innovation, quality, and French decorative excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_6788557335703491698gmail-s1\"\u003eTo see more Daum Glass items\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/collections\/glass-daum\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLASS, DAUM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47481386172652,"sku":"6886","price":950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/8594\/files\/Lizard_and_Butterfly.jpg?v=1776074931","url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/products\/daum-lizard-and-butterfly-vide-poche-6886","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
