At an early age he moved with his family to Nancy, the artistic center of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e His brother, Ernest Schneider (1877-1937), started working for Daum in 1903 as clerk. Charles had started an artistic career and was already active at Daum since 1898. He performed his practical training in the engraving and decorating workshop, but he also took drawing and modeling lessons with Henri Berge. Concurrently, he studied the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1904, he went to the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied painting and medal engraving. During this period, he made bronze art objects in the pure Art Nouveau style, all signed \"CH. SCHNEIDER Nancy\". From 1906, he regularly exhibited in the Engraving section of the Salon de la Societe des Artistes Francais and he was twice awarded a prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1913, the brothers decided to start their own business and bought a small glass factory. By 1920, the factory was working at full capacity making mainly art glass. In 1950, Charles Schneider and his son founded a new glassworks at Epinay-sur-Seine, named \"Cristalleries Schneider\", which was later transferred to Lloris after an accident caused by a gas explosion. Like the old Schneider factory, this one specialized in free-blown glass. Following the artistic trend of the 1950s, the glassworks produced glass sculptures, crystal vases (sometimes bubbled and colored), ashtrays, clock frames, candlesticks and fruit bowls. But this time, the glass was lead crystal, which had come back into favor in France during the 1930s after being revived in Scandinavia. All the productions were signed \"Schneider France\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1950, Charles Schneider and his son founded a new glassworks at Epinay-sur-Seine, named \"Cristalleries Schneider\", which was later transferred to Lloris after an accident caused by a gas explosion.
