Daum Nancy, Crocus Ewer

Ewers are highly desirable because the shape is more unusual and decorative than most vases.  In addition, the applied handle is an important additional step.  The beautiful crocus flowers were first acid-etched and then intricately detailed by hand with enamel paints and fired.  From the top, the decoration is of leaves, vines and seed pods.  There are gilded details to the veining in the leaves and stems as well as the highlights to the handle, top rim and stopper.  The stopper is hand-carved with diagonal faceting on both sides.  Many times the stoppers are lost or damaged.  This is a killer ewer destined for the best collections.  Nice size at 9¾".  Signed.  Mint condition.
