Very good condition. Charles Schneider, master glassmaker in Nancy, is the creator of the signature “le verre français”, registered in October 1918, launched by his brother Ernest, sales manager, and whose registration is entrusted to Ernestine, the older sister. Intended for a wider audience than Schneider creations, this collection of vases, bowls and lamps (marketed around 1922) presents a plant decoration particularly appreciated by American customers, with a wide variety of acid-etched decoration, presenting a contrast of materials. The French glass line will also be known as Charder from 1925.
