From 1918, the Schneider brothers began producing art glassware bearing their name, which gradually formed, through their creations, a fully-fledged artistic line: the Schneider line.
Among the first designs created by Charles Schneider are three series that have become emblematic of the Schneider line: the Jewel Bowls, which appear delicately placed on a slender stem; the Jewel Vases, precious and intimate; and the Large Colored Bowls with black bases.
For this artistic line, thirty-two colors were created by the factory's chemist, including the famous orange tango, yellow opal, violet, and gold red. Reduced to powder, these colors were inserted between two layers of colorless glass in pieces generally blown freehand.
This coloring technique resulted in prestigious creations such as the Jade and Marbrine series, whose effect evokes a mineral appearance, as well as the Filetés and Écaille series. In some cases, the decorations were also applied using a blowtorch (Jewelry Vases), then engraved with a wheel, in cameo style (Camellia series).
At the end of the 1920s, the Schneider line of glassware evolved towards more architectural forms. In the Godron, Dentelé, and Cordée vase series, the glass is thicker, very subtly colored, and much more translucent.
