Daum glass, originating from Nancy, France, dates back to the late 19th century. Established by Jean Daum in 1878, the company initially focused on the production of glassware for everyday use. However, it soon gained recognition for its innovative techniques and artistic designs, particularly in the realm of decorative glasswork.
Under the leadership of Jean's sons, Auguste and Antonin Daum, the company flourished, embracing the Art Nouveau movement and incorporating intricate designs inspired by nature and fantasy into their creations. Daum glass became synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship, attracting attention at international exhibitions and earning prestigious awards.
Throughout the 20th century, Daum continued to evolve, adapting to changing artistic trends while maintaining its commitment to quality and creativity. The company collaborated with renowned artists and designers, pushing the boundaries of glassmaking with experiments in color, texture, and form.
