Museum Quality French Art Deco Topaz Craqueleur Glass Vase, Signed by Schneider
Museum Quality French Art Deco Topaz Craqueleur Glass Vase, Signed by Schneider
This stunning Art Deco Vase (signed Schneider) was realized in the studio of the esteemed glass makers Ernest and Charles Schneider circa 1925. The Schneider Brothers were some of the most respected and masterful glass artists in France during this period, influencing the practices of great artists of the next generation such as Daum and Emile Galle. This piece is a first rate example of their practice. It features a circular base and an elongated body that expands towards its shoulders and then tapers to its rimmed circular mouth. The piece is executed in a rare smoked topaz handblown glass with a unique (and very rare) craqueleur pattern throughout. With its impeccable glass quality (showcasing one of the most desired and unusual patterns of the period) and distinctly modern form, this museum quality piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of the period, as well as those with a penchant for all things exquisite. This, quite simply, is the Art Deco glass vessel for those that have seen it all and will settle for nothing but the very best. It is signed "Schneider" and is in excellent condition.
