About the Item

"Aquarium" a cameo glass center piece by Charder Le Verre français Circa 1923 A rare and very impressive center piece bowl in colorless, coral red and green multilayer bubbled glass, with acid-etched design, wheel-engraved and polished, of a Lionsfish's shoal on a seaweed background. The theme and technique give the illusion of an aquarium. Signed “Charder” in the design and engraved “Le Verre Français” on the base. Circa 1923-1925. A very similar vase is described and illustrated in Janine Bloch-Dermant “Le Verre en France d’Émile Gallé à nos Jours” Charder is the contraction of Charles Schneider (1881-1953), French master glassmaker. In 1898, he began his studies in Nancy, in Daum, the famous French company. He created, with his brother Ernest, " Le Verre français " or « Verreries Schneider", a company founded in 1913 in Epinay-sur-Seine. Over time, the company became more and more successful until it had 500 employees under its wing in 1925, and their works sold all over the world. It was in 1929, at the start of the Great Depression, that the company became unstable, and fell a few years later. “Charder: French glass” is their trademark. It will be the largest glassworks in Europe in the years 1920-1930. The latter developed during an artistic period called Art Deco. This movement was born following the First World War, aiming to forget its horrors. A rich and luxurious society appears, in search of furniture and works of art. The success of these two brothers comes first of all from their style, which developed during the Art Deco period which influences their neat, colored glass (yellow, mauve, orange). Their glass is therefore modern, inspired by the artistic movements of the moment, cubism, futurism, through colors and lights. The glassworks manufactures its own raw materials, unlike its competitors (Gallé, Daum, etc.) who buy them. Unlike the others, the Schneider brothers keep an artisanal production: each piece remains unique and keeps track of the worker. Charles Schneider remains the main character of the company: his brother is the manager. Among the most beautiful models of Le Verre Français (a brand created by Verreries Schneider in 1921), a few are selected and are the subject of a production signed "Charder", contraction of Charles Schneider. This production is more limited, with often Japanese shapes and decorations. Certain pieces can bear the two signatures Charder and Le Verre français.
