Unusual French art glass vase
Posted by Antique Trader Staff

Schneider French art glass vase.jpgCheck out this unusual Schneider art glass vase that recently sold on eBay for $2,425. (Item number 120283294262 if you want to see many more images and more of the description.)

ANTIQUE SIGNED SCHNEIDER FRENCH ART GLASS VASE WITH IRON MOUNT CIRCA 1920S. The glass body is mottled red-orange to yellow, and is mounted by iron, which to my eye resembles very moderne styled stick figures assending the sides of the vase. The design is Arts & Crafts in style with the hammered base, but also has an Art Deco & a very modern architectural element, with the simple & interesting criss cross design. Arms outstretched they climb...Anyway...this jewel has something for everyone, as I believe the design is as valid now as it was then. The vase is approx. 20 3/8"h X  9"(dia. top) X 5 1/2" (dia. bottom).
I'm awestruck by the craftsmanship and the design.

What do you think of it?

Absolutely Fantastic, or even "Awesome" as the younger set today would say for lack of better vocabulary. Aren't you sick of this word to describe practically everything today?

Whatever! This is indeed a true piece of art that was sold at what I would consider not a horribly expensive price.

Beautiful example of Arts & Crafts!

I think this is really awesome to it's a nice large vessel and has beautiful colors.The shape is cool and shows the art of glass.It takes alot to blow a large piece of glass like this.I worked in a gift shop at pilgrim glass in Cerdeo West Virginia and the largest was 30in tall.We also were known for our cranberry glass and cameo glass where colors are blown and then cut and sandblasting technique is used. The artist had done done the super noma in New Orleans Museum of Art. Also for the Botanical Gardens and the WildlifeConservation Society.If you want to see some more beautiful art glass let me know.I have a collection of one of kind. Thanks
