The short-lived heyday of Glasfabrik Schneider lasted from the end of the First World War to the Great Depression of 1929. Within this decade, the Glassworks was extraordinarily creative, giving the most colourful ex- pression to French Art Deco. After working for the Glassworks Daum Frères in Nancy for several years, Ernest Schneider (1877–1937) left in 1909 and looked to buy a small Glasshouse north of Paris. His brother, modeler and lapidary Charles Schneider (1881–1953), who had also worked for Daum, became artistic director of the new company. In a gradual departure from Art Nouveau, the Schneider Glasses feature no reproduction of nature or symbolic references – leaving pure, trend-driven decoration. Characteristic of the Glasses are the coloured Glass powder inclusions. The Glassworks itself produced the range of colours used, which for the time were very bold. (Dedo von Kerssenbrock-Krosigk)
