Daum is the only commercial crystal manufacturer employing the pâte de verre (glass paste) process for art glass and crystal sculptures, a technique in which crushed glass is packed into a refractory mould and then fused in a kiln. The horse's flowing mane and expressive features showcase the dimensional depth and translucent brilliance that distinguishes authentic Daum crystal from Nancy's legendary studio.
The crystal, magnified by subtle translucent qualities, marries the powerful shapes of this sculpture where the mane seems to dance in an imaginary wind. Each detail from the alert ears to the gentle nostril definition reflects the meticulous hand-finishing that has made Daum animal sculptures highly sought among collectors who appreciate genuine French luxury craftsmanship.
