Small shell from Mer de Corail sculptures by Daum

Embrace the allure of the Mediterranean Sea with Maison Daum's Mer de Corail collection, a tribute to the infinite treasures and mesmerizing aesthetics of the underwater world. These exquisite sea beauties, like shells on the beach, are pieces you'll long to pick up and cherish. Each Mer de Corail shell is meticulously handcrafted at the French Daum manufactory 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. Tiny air bubbles captured within the glass serve as a testament to the remarkable manufacturing process behind these stunning creations, symbolizing the artisanal excellence that Maison Daum is renowned for.
