The tulips, each in a different position and at a different stage of flowering, offer a rotating decoration, their petals of a bright orange-red color finely striated ending a simply placed stem of a deep green standing out against the background that is both transparent and translucent.
A technical achievement combining the work of acid etching on very thick glass with the creation of flowers by applied while hot plaquettes and fine cold engraving.
Form, colors, treatment of the subject, play of textures and patterns that are both abstract and naturalistic as well as the contrast between transparency and opacity offer a very modern piece.
Signed "Daum Nancy France" with the cross of Lorraine under the base.
c. 1925 Rare model - similar smaller piece present in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris.
Good condition: a small chip at the base of the stem of a tulip; a small chip on the stem of a tulip at the junction of the petals and two tiny chips at the base of this same stem; traces of acid biting on the neck - see photos. Two small air bubbles on a petal, original.
