Daum Safran Small Decorative Flower Sculpture – Crystal Sculpture

The Daum Safran Small Decorative Flower Sculpture is a crystal sculpture crafted by Daum, the celebrated French crystal manufactory founded in Nancy in 1878.

Each Daum piece is made by hand, so color and shading vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photos.

A Luxury Handmade Collectible

The saffron flower, crocus sativus, is one of the most valued flowers in the world, for its singular pistils that make precious spices. The saffron spice is one of the most expensive in the world, earning its name "red gold."

Cultivated since the fifth century BC in the Middle East, saffron was renowned for its therapeutic qualities and was seen in abundance at the table of Achaemenid rulers. Today, it flavors the finest dishes, tints the noblest ornaments, and adds light to the most sophisticated cosmetics.

150,000 to 300,000 flowers are harvested to obtain just 1 kilo of saffron. The pistils are handpicked, flower by flower, with a delicate gesture, just like that of the sculptor composing the bouquet and carpet of saffron on the vases of this collection.

Every Daum piece is crafted in the Daum manufactory using the pâte de verre technique, in which crushed crystal is cast and kiln-fired — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
