French Art Deco Art Glass and Wrought Iron Flower Vase, circa 1920s

About the Item

Although unsigned, this Art Deco masterpiece in red and white art glass and wrought iron most probably by Charles Schneider. Charles and Ernest Schneider were a generation younger than Emile Galle and the Daum brothers, whose glassworks were in the same area of France. The Schneider brothers worked for Daum from the early 1900s, Ernest as a salesman/commercial manager, and Charles as a freelance designer. The brothers left Daum circa 1912, and recommissioned an old glassworks under the name Schneider Freres et Wolff (Schneider Brothers and Wolff), a few miles north of Paris in 1913. Henri Wolff was an architect friend of Charles Schneider. Initially they made high quality cameo vases and lamps, but the war in Europe (1914-1918) led Charles and Ernest and most of their skilled glassworkers away to fight in the war. They returned and re-opened their glassworks in 1917 to make glassware needed for hospitals, and after the war they sold shares in the company to finance getting back into the art glass market. At that time the company was called the Societe Anonyme des Verreries Schneider. Charles Schneider was a brilliant and versatile designer, and the company produced a wide range of superb designs of vases, ewers, bowls, and lamps. They were very successful in marketing their glass to major high prestige retail stores both in Paris and overseas. They bought back their shares and re-named the company Verrerie Schneider.

  • Daum Nancy French Art Deco Acid Etched Pâte-de-Verre Flower Vase, ca. 1930
    By Daum
    Located in New York, NY
    This geometric, floral inspired 1930s French Art Deco deeply acid etched pâte-de-verre elegant flower vase bears the signature Daum Nancy on the base edge. There is a nice weight to the thick-walled heavy glass. It has a beautiful amber yellow color etched right through to the clear. Sophisticated in its simplicity, the design consists of geometrically-stylized leaves and flowers encircling a vase, with a smooth banded edge at the top. Period: Ca. 1930’s Style: French Art Deco. Medium: Acid Etched Pâte-de-Verren Art Glass. Dimensions: Height: 6.875” x max. diameter: 6.875” x opening diameter: 3.375” Markings: Engraved on the base edge, ‘Daum Nancy’ Condition: Good antique condition. No chips or cracks. No damages, no restorations. Maker: Daum Freres of Nancy, France The success of the Daum glass company is directly a result of its excellent management and entrepreneurial spirit. The accidental founder of the company was Jean Daum (1825-1885). He was a financier of the company when it was known as the Verrerie Sainte Catherine. This company quickly hit hard times and it was Jean Daum who took control of it before it failed. Daum was not an artist by trade. He was a notary and industrialist. This new venture was a trial by fire. The first glass produced by Daum is collectible, but it was not art glass. They made mostly clear glass with gold rims to be used while dining. It wasn’t until the 1890s that Daum began producing what we think of today as “Daum Nancy” glass. Daum glass is thought to be made by the Daum Freres (brothers). This was not accurate when the company first began operating. It was Jean Daum and his son Auguste Daum (1853-1909) who laid the ground work for Auguste and his brother Antonin Daum (1864-1930) to lead the company in the early 20th century. All Daum glass is handmade, but that certainly shouldn’t lead the reader to believe that Daum was a mom and pop...
