Since 1878 Daum have been crafting world-renowned beauty in lead crystal using rare and ancient techniques. Daum´s perfect mastery of pate de verre has earned it a worldwide reputation for excellence.

This year, artist Chen Changwei breaks with tradition, reinventing the Chinese zodiac in a series of surrealist busts in the time-honored tradition of pâte de cristal. His style is daring and original with his busts of surrealistic animals, symbolic totems.

This complex process brings to life a staghead perched atop an elongated neck, an iridescent rendition of elephant and man and a Dalmatian head perched atop an elongated neck, adding stunning originality to your art collection.
