DAUM NANCY – PAIR OF VASES, CIRCA 1900
PAIR OF VASES, CIRCA 1900
Acid-etched, wheel-carved and hammered glass
Engraved signature highlighted with gold
12.5 cm. high
JACQUES GRUBER – DAUM NANCY – “FRUCTIDOR” VASE, 1896
“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.

Bibliography
Extracts from a letter by Emile Gallé to Victor Prouvé dated the 25th of January 1899
“… Thème décoratif. – Cette pièce devra faire partie d’une série rêvée par moi de Fruits spirituels, les uns bons et les autres mauvais. Celle-ci sera la pomme de sapin, vaguement rappelée par la forme du vase avec la large figuration neigeuse sur son épaulement de bronze, formant ainsi cadre au sujet inspiré de ce thème :
Car j’ai eu froid et vous m’avez réchauffé
J’étais étranger et vous m’avez recueilli
… Il s’agit donc de figurer un miséreux, demi nu, auquel des hôtes, eux-mêmes peu fortunés, offrent leur coeur et leur foyer ; Puvis, si je me souviens, avait prêté à ses hospitaliers homme et femme un grand âge, ce qui était touchant et faisait un rappel de Philémon et Baucis.
Afin de ne pas trop compliquer (car nous avons bien d’autres thèmes à dire, en un an !) un seul hospitalisé pourrait suffire, avec un pauvre accroupi frileux devant le feu, et des invités plus modestes et non moins intéressants, des oiseaux sur une place sans neige, un chien perdu qui dévore timidement à l’écart…
… P.S. – Bien entendu, je compte enlever le noir du col et n’en laisser que peu (vol de corneilles scématisées, ou écailles de sapin). Je laisserai la bague noire…” (La Revue des arts décoratifs, 1901, p. 312).
