Charles Schneider Tazza, 1920-30 Jade Green Art Glass Tazza

Fast-forward to France in the first quarter of the 20th century where the Art Nouveau movement was ending an ornate period that had begun with quiet Victorian grace. Enter the glass artist Charles Schneider, who began his work in 1918 within the customary motifs of Art Nouveau, but soon mesmerized the world with flamboyant designs that heralded a bold vision of the future. This new design movement was later called Art Deco after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Moderne in Paris in 1925. Charles Schneider's contribution to art glass is an extensive, exceedingly varied, hand-blown body of work produced within a short period of time, demonstrating a cross section of glassmaking and decorating skills. His work used every known decorative glass technique, i.e. 'hot' work such as internal decorations, applied glass, embedded glass, overlaid glass; and 'cold' techniques like enameling, acid treatments, wheel-carving, etching, engraving.
