Note:
Le Verre Français was the prestigious art glass line produced by Charles Schneider at Épinay-sur-Seine between 1918 and the early 1930s. Schneider’s work is distinguished by its vivid colours, stylised botanical themes, and multi-layered glass etched with acid to create detailed relief decoration. Each piece was made in limited quantities. This example, with its plum motif and geometric base design, is a fine representation of Schneider’s refined Art Deco aesthetic.
