Description: Superb and extremely rare Daum # Nancy vase designed after a drawing by Edmond Lachenal, France late 1800s. Signed, etched and gilt "Daum # Nancy, d'après E. Lachenal". Decorations of leaves, branches and berries on an iridescent glass backdrop featuring rich green and blue colours. From the late 1890s, the ceramist Edmond Lachenal made numerous trips to Lorraine to create around thirty exceptional pieces with the Maison Daum (only nine of which are currently recorded). In very good condition. Dimensions in cm ( H x D ) : 22 x 20 Secure shipping. The Maison Daum often called upon external collaborators such as Jacques Grüber, Majorelle, Henri Bergé, and Amalric Walter. Its collaboration with Edmond Lachenal is remarkable and extremely rare. Their joint creations are exceptional due to the perfect technical mastery, quality, and finesse of the artist's work. The connection with the Parisian ceramist, who began his career in the workshop of Théodore Deck, was evident at the Brussels Universal Exhibition in 1897. Indeed, some models bear the mention "after Lachenal," like this vase. We also find this design, always with a very naturalistic spirit, of vines, leaves and berries on pieces made at the same period. This collaboration would later continue with the production of decorated vases and table glasses.

Further Information: One of the most influential french ceramists, Edmond Lachenal contributed significantly to the development of Art Nouveau. His poor beginnings in Paris led to an apprenticeship at age 12 with a local potter. In 1870, he began working in the studio of leading ceramist, Theodore Deck. Lachenal was a quick study and by 1873, he had demonstrated considerable talent to be appointed Director of Decoration in Deck’s studio as well as receiving an Honorable Mention at the World’s Fair in Vienna. By 1881 Lachenal had opened his own studio with his wife and fellow ceramist, Anne Le Cloarec, in Paris’ Auteuil neighborhood where there was a high concentration of ceramic production and artistic exchange. He subsequently moved his studio production outside of Paris; however his impact on the artistic capital only increased with time. He won gold medals there in 1889 and 1900 at the Expositions Universelle. By the early-1900s, large exhibitions of his work were held at the Osterreischisches Museum fur angewande Kunst in Vienna and Munich and at Louis Majerelle’s new Paris showrooms at the former site of Bing’s Maison de l’Art Nouveau. It was his breadth and range that set him apart from other contemporary artists working in the field. He worked in faience and stoneware, and he collaborated with sculptors to produce ceramic versions of their work. His oeuvre included applied experimental decorative ceramic styles as well as masterful sculpted organic models which reflected the evolving trend of Japonisme. Lachenal’s creative solutions of utilizing hydrofluoric acid to remove the outer layer of glazes in order to create a velvety matte finish became his hallmark email mat veloute. As a harbinger and master of the Art Nouveau style, Lachenal’s ceramic work moved french ceramics from an appreciative replication of the natural world influenced by the arts from Japan to a fully actualized aesthetic in which artistic process and form expressed these higher laws found in nature. Lachenal leaves an incredible legacy.
