Black and White Jockey

Daum captures the beauty of thoroughbred racing in the dramatic Black and White Jockey.  Shown in mid jump, this powerful piece of art crystal features a horse hand crafted in rich black pate de cristal mounted by a contrasting jockey in sleek white crystal.  Each piece of Daum crystal is individually handmade so variation in color will occur.  Designed for Daum Crystal by Jean-Francois Leroy in a limited edition of 1000.  Measures 11” L

Pate-de-cristal is accomplished my making a negative mold of the artist’s original sculpture then introducing fragments of colored crystal. The mold is then fired for at least 10 days and then broken, revealing the pate-de-cristal sculpture. Since each mold is broken, every piece of Daum is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. The distinctive bubbles seen in each piece are completely normal and are referred to as a “champagne effect.”
