Daum Nancy, Dandelion Rose Bowl

I'll explain to you why this is such a special item, but I'm not sure where to start. So I'll begin with the Dandelion decoration. Not only is it rare, but it involves multiple techniques, including hand-enamel painting and extensive gilding, especially to all the fine details and to the rim. Next it's a type of vase called Verrerie Parlante, (Talking Glass), where a saying is written in French. In this case, "Comme la Plume au Vent" (Like the Feather to the Wind). Next is the shape, which is a rose bowl, but not any rose bowl. This one is big, 5½" tall x 8½" diameter, with many deep dimples. The signature is gilded on the underside, together with a rare sticker from the original retailer, Majorelle, in Nancy, France. It's a gem vase for the best collections. Dandelions may not be good for your lawn, but they're great for your collection. Mint condition.
