Here's a very unusual 1930s Art Deco amethyst colored glass vase made in France by the Schneider company. The traditional "vase" shape of this piece is transformed into art with two protruding curvilinear glass segments that also serve to frame the tactile acid-etched lower portion of the vase. This hefty, interesting glass vessel is certainly striking with or without flowers. It is signed on the base - "Schneider".

This is a very interesting 1930s Art Deco crystal vase by Belgian glassware manufacturer, Val St. Lambert. At first glance it's simply a beautiful example of an Art Deco cut crystal vase.

Not counting all of the cranberry overlay diamond facets, there are a total of 22 "sides" to this VERY hefty vase! You'll always be able to see another side to this situation!

The Müller family originated from Kalhauzen and rested on a long tradition of glass workers. When the German Empire annexed the Elsace in 1871, the Müller family fled to the quieter Lunéville. Henri Muller set up an independent glass workshop in Lunéville. His brothers soon joined him, and the Muller Frères Glassworks was born. The Müllers mastered all well-known glass decorating techniques and experimented with new methods. They soon developed into a renowned company and established a name for their large diversity and quality.

A beautiful and straightforward 1930s Art Deco fluted glass vase made in France by the Schneider company. Charles Schneider was an important contributor to the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs Modernes and was awarded the French Legion of Honour in 1926. With his brother Ernest and sister Ernestine he managed one of the largest art glass factories in France during the Art Deco period. The works from the Charles Schneider glass factory used all of the glass making techniques that were developed during the 1920s. This particularly elegant piece of glass is perfect with or without adornments and is virtually a study in dynamics. The light refracts radiantly through the acid-etched treatment near the top and gradually diminishes as the umber color deepens near the base. It is a hefty piece of glass that is also wonderful to the touch.
