The piece features a round base that dramatically flares into a protuberant base subtly tapering to a gently indented neck before flaring out once more to a rounded mouth. This piece is full of subtle and idiosyncratic geometries and gentle curves. Realized in a beautiful translucent smoked citrine glass (a rare and unusual color), the piece features rectangular forms evenly impressed into the surface of the glass (achieved through a recessed molding technique) that display a heavily textured surface and plain centers. With its beautiful glass quality by one of the period's greatest makers, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of the period as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. It is signed "Daum Nancy" and is in excellent condition.
