Great miniature Daum Nancy cameo vase with a winter scene. I have had this vase in many shapes and sizes, but never so small. It appears to be much harder to create one this small than a larger one. The vase measures 2 1/2" tall x 1" wide. It is signed, and has no damage, with the exception of some of the original gold worn on the very top.
This is a samurai armor set (yoroi and helmet) for Boy’s Day in Japan. By displaying a set like this, the parents hope to inspire boys in their manliness, bravery, discipline and the honor codes that come with it.
Here on the lids, it is written the name of the owner and the occasion. It is to celebrate his first Sekku in the fourteenth year of Showa period (1939). On the reverse side of the lids, there are labels of Tanimoto Yousuke, the doll maker...
This tiny jewel is a Daum Nancy miniature vase carved with flowers allaround. It measures 2 1/4" tall x 1" in diameter, is signed and in perfect original condition.
This lovely signed cameo vase by Daum Nancy is a tiny unusual shaped treasure. It measures only 1 1/4" high x approximately 1 1/2" wide at its widest point. It has a lovely scenic design, and the vase itself has four dimples in it - one on each of its sides. It is in perfect original condition with the exception of a very small amount of gold worn off the top. This is a choice piece for a collector of miniatures.
