The Maison Daum often called upon external collaborators such as Jacques Grüber, Majorelle, Henri Bergé, and Amalric Walter. Its collaboration with Edmond Lachenal is remarkable and extremely rare. Their joint creations are exceptional due to the perfect technical mastery, quality, and finesse of the artist's work. The connection with the Parisian ceramist, who began his career in the workshop of Théodore Deck, was evident at the Brussels Universal Exhibition in 1897. Indeed, some models bear the mention "after Lachenal," like this vase. We also find this design, always with a very naturalistic spirit, of vines, leaves and berries on pieces made at the same period. This collaboration would later continue with the production of decorated vases and table glasses.
