I like Daum crystal. I think it is Most Excellent. In moderation.
I am not a big fan of tchotchkes placed in large groupings or major collections throughout a home. What I do like is a select object, sculpture, vase, small grouping of ceramics or perhaps a piece or two of Daum crystal strategically placed. Not every selection from the House of Daum gets my thumbs up. I am drawn to the more abstract, unusual, or precisely colorful masterpieces. I have just taken a run through the Daum website.
The site, complete with many special three-dimensional effects, displays the crystal created by Daum in a art gallery like format. Obviously paying respect to the fact that each and every piece of Daum crystal is a work of art. Many of which have been designed by some of the world's most highly regarded artists. Below are a few of my favorite selections from my tour of the Daum site. I have listed the price for each piece, just in case you may want to pick up one of these beautiful accessories for your home.
