Daum Tressage Small Vase – Tropical Basketry in Fine Green Crystal
Embrace the art of exotic craftsmanship with the Daum Tressage Small Vase. Inspired by the ancestral traditions of the Caribbean, Madagascar, and Indonesia, the Tressage Collection explores the intricate art of basketry. This piece captures the delicate texture of braided bamboo, banana, and coconut leaves, reimagining humble natural fibers as a luxurious work of fine crystal art.
The Art of Pâte de Cristal and Braiding Handcrafted in Nancy, France, this vase is created using Daum’s signature Pâte de Cristal technique. The creative studio adapts traditional basketweaving to sculpture, where natural fronds are modeled in wax and then cast in crystal. The result is a vibrant green vessel where the light dances through woven textures, creating a spectacle of nuances and transparencies that evoke the lush serenity of a tropical garden.
Why the Daum Tressage Small Vase is So Special
Exotic Island Inspiration: The design pays homage to the dexterity of island artisans. The braided crystal fronds criss-cross and blend to form a slender, organic vessel that feels both ancestral and contemporary.
Intricate Botanical Accents: To perfect the tropical narrative, the vase is adorned with delicate yellow vanilla flowers, adding a touch of exoticism and a pop of contrasting color to the verdant green crystal.
Masterful Shadow and Light: The textured surface of the braiding is designed to capture and diffuse natural light, casting shimmering reflections that change throughout the day and bring a magnetic energy to your space.
Mastery of Glassmaking: Even when empty, this vase invites contemplation through its graceful curves and shimmering reflections. It is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and age-old techniques preserved by the Daum workshop.
Century-Old French Savoir-Faire: Since 1878, Daum has been the only commercial crystal manufacturer to master the lost-wax technique for art glass, ensuring that your vase is a unique, museum-quality investment.
