Vintage Daum France Crystal Blue & Yellow Toucan Bird Pate De Verre Figurine 4"

This is a Daum Crystal Toucan figurine, a notable piece crafted by Daum, a renowned French crystal manufacturer.

Pâte de Verre Technique: Daum is famous for its mastery of the "Pâte de Verre" (glass paste) technique, an ancient and rare glass art method that they revitalized and adapted with crystal in 1968. This process involves creating a mold, filling it with crystal fragments, and then firing it to produce uniquely textured and colored pieces like the Toucan.

Material and Appearance: These figurines are made from crystal and are known for their sculptural dimension, translucency, and vibrant, often blended, colors, as seen in the green-to-blue transition of the Toucan in the image.

Size: 4” tall, 4” from beak to tail wing.

Origin: Daum is based in Nancy, France, and these crystal figurines are designed and made there.

Collectibility: Daum figurines, including the Toucan, are considered collectible art glass pieces and are often sought after in auctions and by collectors.
