Charles Schneider French Art Deco Glass Vase Wrought Iron Mount 8" Signed c.1925

Charles Schneider French Art Deco Glass Vase Blown into a Wrought Iron Mount, circa 1920s

This is a French Art Deco art glass vase by Charles Schneider, 8 inches tall. The flared bowl is mottled raspberry pink and coral with bursts of yellow and orange. The lower body deepens to aubergine with orange and yellow inclusions. The glass was blown into its hand-forged iron armature, so it bulges softly between the iron straps. That is a sign of this technique, and it means the glass and iron were made to go together.

The iron mount has stylized leaf straps capped with ball finials around a band at the shoulder. The straps sweep down to a knopped stem on a round foot with radiating hammered ribs. The ironwork has a warm, aged patina.

Signature: The lower body is engraved “Schneider”
