The piece
Unique and sophisticated, this vase is crafted of mouth-blown "pate de verre" glass and hand-decorated using a technique invented by the Romans then reintroduced during the Art Nouveau period and continued throughout the 1960s.

This creation has stunning lines along its tapered and curved surface. The lines accentuate its elongated silhouette and movements.

This art glass vase was created in the glassworks studio by Bob le Bleïs in the sixties, renowned French master glazier. Fine contemporary design in this French art glass vase. Very good quality, and wonderfully decorative.

Signed MV.

Measures: 24 1/8" High x 9" Diameter Will enhance any setting.

Cristallerie Schneider was founded in 1908 by brothers Charles and Ernest Schneider. Charles trained under the Art Nouveau glass firms Gallé and Daum, joining Daum's in-house school at age sixteen, and brought that grounding in cameo glass technique to the new firm.

At the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs the company's Art Deco work drew strong demand, particularly from America, and the factory expanded to around 500 workers. The firm's glass, produced 1913–1933, was marked Schneider, Le Verre Français, or Charder. Production was interrupted by German occupation during World War II, resumed afterward at reduced scale, and ceased altogether in 1981.
