Small Orange Hand Made Cameo Style Art Glass Vase- Daum Nancy Signed.

Glassware marked Daum Nancy is credited to Auguste and Antonin Daum. These brothers took over a glass factory owned by their father Jean Daum located in Nancy, France, during the 1870s. The Daum factory produced watch crystals and utilitarian glassware until the 1890s. The brothers began experimenting with art glass beginning in the 1890s and continued into the early 20th century. They introduced their cameo glassware at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.
Much of the glass made by the Daum factory was cameo in style. That means that multiple layers of glass were carved to achieve a design in low relief. Some examples combine a variety of techniques, however, such as enameling or intaglio carving in the design rather than adhering strictly to cameo décor. Occasionally, a Daum piece will be found set in silver or gilt base to form a vase or dish.
Whether on the side or bottom, the mark will include the words "Daum Nancy" with the Cross of Lorraine (a French cross consisting of a vertical line crossed by two horizontal bars with one being shorter than the other). Some marks connect the cross with the signature, others have the cross beneath the Daum Nancy wording.

There are several different variations on the Daum Nancy mark as well. Some have the "Y" in Nancy elongated in what collectors reference as the "Devil’s Tail" mark. Others include the word "France." One variation includes the date and a butterfly, and several have very curvy writing.
