This miniature dachshund figurine, created by the renowned Daum glassworks in France circa 1900, exemplifies Art Nouveau craftsmanship at the dawn of the 20th century. Made of pressed glass colored in mass to a translucent amethyst purple, the piece displays subtle tonal transitions—from pale lilac to deep violet—and a polished, glossy finish that highlights the fluidity of its sculpted lines. The naturalistic proportions and carefully modeled details reflect the Art Nouveau emphasis on harmonious curves and organic form. A slender, dark metal collar encircles the neck, providing a contrasting accent that enhances the lifelike character of the piece. The surface is smooth with gentle undulations, attesting to the artisanal, hand-finished quality characteristic of Daum's work. The figurine measures approximately 7 cm in height, 5.5 cm in width, and 3.5 cm in depth.

The metal collar, while a simple detail, recalls the refined restraint admired by Art Nouveau artists. This dachshund figurine is not merely an animal portrait; it
