The collaboration between Daum and celebrated Surrealist artist Salvador Dali began in 1968 with "La Fleur du Mal," his first piece in a long series with the Maison. The translucency of Daum's crystal paste offered Dali the appropriate medium through which to express the metamorphoses suggested to him by his "paranoid and critical" perception of reality. This Daum piece is inspired by one Dali's most famous works, the Persistence of Memory. Each Daum crystal piece is made using the rare and ancient "Pâte de Verre" glassmaking technique, which dates back to 5,000 BC, involves melting many fragments of colored crystal within a mold. This results in intense colors and subtle shading. Handmade in France.
