Description
Summary:The Vase aux lys tigrés, made at the Daum factory and housed in the Fine Arts Museum in Nancy, is a remarkable piece. Although it is an Art Nouveau design, befitting the factory's glory days from 1897 to 19141 it was not made until 1927, almost 20 years after the supposed end of the movement. This type of piece is unusual but not unknown for Daum or for many other manufacturers of the time. It demonstrates the economic importance of this production and the complexity of the arts industry, which attempted to strike a balance between the expectations of consumers, aesthetic demands, and the industry's own restrictions. The vase also shows what appealed to the public, whose tastes were less definitive and categorical than those of art critics. (Author abstract)
