Crafted in France circa 1927, this elegant footed vase embodies the refined aesthetics of the Art Déco period with subtle influences of Art Nouveau. Designed by Charder for Schneider’s distinguished line Le Verre Français, the piece is executed in frosted art glass, its surface enriched by hand-painted geometric and floral motifs in deep amber and honeyed tones. The stylized design, composed of circular and linear patterns reminiscent of grape clusters and leaves, is carefully integrated within the vessel’s tall, slightly tapered silhouette, creating a rhythmic balance between form and decoration. The upper rim and foot display a rich, glossy finish that contrasts delicately with the matte body, enhancing the vase’s layered color effects. The designer’s and manufacturer’s marks can be found on the surface of the vase.

Le Verre Français, established by the Schneider brothers in the early twentieth century, became renowned for its multi-layered cameo glass and its harmonious fusion of modern and organic forms. This example reflects the technical mastery and aesthetic precision that define the finest works of the French glassmaking tradition. See less
