The Schneider Glassworks (Verreries Schneider), established by brothers Charles and Ernest Schneider in Epinay-sur-Seine, France, in 1917, was among the leading producers of Fine Art glass between the two world wars, creating exuberantly colorful vessels and lighting fixtures in both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. The factory’s highpoint was the 1920s, when it created iconic chandeliers and exquisitely decorated cameo glass vases that are still in high demand today.

This piece is offered in the manner of Schneider Glass (Cristallerie Schneider). What follows is about the maker whose work it follows, not a statement that it left their hand.
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.
