Daum, Mer de Corail sculptures, Amber red starfish

Explore the enchanting depths of the Mediterranean Sea with Maison Daum's Mer de Corail collection, celebrating the infinite treasures of the underwater world and its breathtaking aesthetics. Each unique piece in the Mer de Corail collection is expertly handcrafted from the finest pâte de cristal, or "crystal glass mass." Inspired by the legend that starfish in the sea are reflections of the stars in the sky, Daum has created the mesmerizing Mer de Corail starfish pieces. These exquisite sculptures are true-to-life replicas of real starfish, with finely structured knobs on their legs that evoke the authentic feel of their living counterparts. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail at the French Daum manufactory, each starfish is made using a single crystal glass paste (pâte de verre), ensuring its uniqueness and unparalleled beauty. The crystal-glass paste, a sophisticated blend of crystal and lead granulate, allows skilled glass artists to mold the material like wax, resulting in exceptional shapes and a captivating interplay of colors and contours.
