Founded by Jean Daum in 1878, the manufacturer is known for its pâte de verre (glass paste) process involving packing crushed glass into a mold where it is fused in a kiln. The company is connected to the Art Nouveau movement and collaborated with artists such as George Braque and Salvador Dali. A collection of Daum's work is housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nancy, France.
