VERRERIES SCHNEIDER Art Deco lamp base, France, first half of the 20th century.Mottled paste glass in degradé.Signed.Measurements: 41,5 cm.Lamp base made of mould-blown glass and air-finished, using two different coloured glasses. The mottling has been achieved by adding a darker glass to the piece while it is still hot, so that they melt without mixing. Thus, when the mouth is blown out, this expressive mottled effect is created.Ernest (1877-1937) and Charles Schneider (1881-1953) founded a small glassworks in Epinay-sur-Seine, France, in 1911. Charles Schneider, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and gifted with unusual artistic skills, together with his brother, succeeded in making his production the most important art glassworks in France between 1926 and 1930. His pieces were always hand-blown, which meant that each glass in the same series would never be identical to another. At the same time, the range of hot and cold decoration processes was always applied with virtuoso mastery. Charles Schneider meticulously studied the temperature and chemical compositions to obtain an extremely extensive palette of colours, some of them never seen before and of unprecedented strength in the art of glass. The so-called Tango, for example, an explosive orange, was to become the most innovative. Known as Verreries Schneider, the firm produced two production lines, one under the brand name Le Verre Français and the other as Schneider. In any case, the success of this firm was undoubtedly due to the creative frenzy, enthusiasm, talent and genius of one man, Charles Schneider.
