Product Description
Signed Charles Schneider jade glass vase, circa 1920s, distinguished by its richly mottled surface of jade tones layered with painterly accents of pink, plum, and deep violet.
Standing approximately 25cm in height, the vase embodies the bold, expressive direction of French Art Deco glass, where colour and form were used with increasing confidence. The softly blended surface creates an almost abstract effect, with tones shifting gently across the body and revealing depth as the light moves.
The generous, rounded form allows the colour to fully develop, while the sculptural black feet provide a striking architectural contrast, grounding the piece and giving it a strong visual presence. This interplay between fluid decoration and structured base is characteristic of Schneider’s work during this dynamic period of design.
Signed examples by Charles Schneider are increasingly sought after, particularly those that balance scale, colour, and form with such clarity. At approximately 25cm tall, this is a substantial and confident piece, well suited to a console, sideboard, or as a focal point within a curated interior.
It may have once stood within a modern interior of the 1920s, its colours catching the changing light of the day. As evening settled, its deeper tones would emerge, reflecting a time of confidence and artistic shift—remaining, even now, quietly expressive and assured in its presence.
