Baladine Horse

Daum captures the majestic beauty of the horse in the dramatic Baladine Horse Head. Shown in profile, this powerful piece of art crystal features a horse’s head hand crafted in rich shades of amber and brown pate de cristal.  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 500.  Measures 6 ¾” H

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.”
