Daum
Daum the legendary glassmaker, master in Nancy (France) founded in 1878 by Jean Daum (1825-1885). Daum is one of the only crystal manufacturers to employ the ‘pâte de verre’ (glass paste) process for art glass and crystal sculptures
Delatte
André Delattte himself was born in Châtenois, France, in 1887. He first founded his glass producing company in 1921, close to Nancy. He fabricated engraved glass objects of the kind which was also sold by Daum and Muller Frères. Delatte’s cameo vases and bolws incorporated two to three layers of glass, with motives made visible through acid and only little polishing was done afterwards. The designs were common to be solid and clean. Although the motives themselves were not innovative and mostly depicted landscapes and florals, they were attractive to the eye. The company was shut down in 1938, because of the financial crisis at the time.
