Charles Schneider, a master of French Art Deco glass. After he and his brother Ernest founded the Schneider glassworks in 1917, Charles launched two iconic lines: Le Verre Français and Schneider. These collections, produced between 1918 and 1933, showcased his innovative spirit and technical brilliance.

The Schneider line, of which this vase is an example, concentrated on blown glass with vivid colors and flowing forms, with an emphasis on artistic spontaneity and craftsmanship. Techniques included hot-working, overlaps, and internal colors, creating more spontaneous, expressive pieces. In contrast to the natural themes of Le Verre Français, the Schneider line leaned toward abstract and geometric forms, often with a more modernist aesthetic.
