Gilt intaglio signature Daum Nancy with the cross of Lorraine, inscribed Mo and Fecit, dated 1895,
signed Gruber Del and J. Marchand
46 cm. high
Jacques Gruber was the most prominent designer working at Daum between 1893 and 1897.
From 1893, he designed vessels intended for national and international exhibitions,
most of which were unique pieces. He is most probably the author of the shape that appeared
in 1894 and of which very few examples are known, more or less all equal in height and with
various designs of poppies, thistles, sweet peas, and peacock feathers.
Most of them are presently in museums. We were unable to locate a similar example in that particular height.
Jules Marchand was the principal engraver at the Daum workshop. Working with an oil lamp, he ended his life blind

“FRUCTIDOR” VASE, 1896
After a drawing by Jacques Gruber
Acid-etched glass, finely wheel carved
Signed, titled, dated and with the Cross of Lorraine
27 cm. high
The title is taken from the name of the last month of the French Republican calendar, which represented
the “fruits that the sun gilds and ripens from August to September”.
The carved decoration of our vase shows multiple inspirations: Greek and Roman, Japanese art,
and German Expressionism. It can be compared with two other vases: “L’heure calme”.
“L’incantation crépusculaire”, 1895, in the Musées royaux d’Art et d’Histoire, Brussels,
and “Tristan et Yseult”, circa 1897, in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nancy.

“Rares sont donc les pièces qui offrent, comme c’est le cas du vase Ancolies, une adéquation aussi parfaite entre la forme de l’objet et son décor figuré. Ces pièces d’exception résultaient souvent de commandes particulières ou étaient réalisées en vue d’expositions démontrant le savoir-faire décoratif et technique de la cristallerie”. (Le Musée de l’Ecole de Nancy, Oeuvres choisies)
The columbine flower guided the decorator in the design of the vase
