* Charles Schneider (1881-1953)
was a French Art Deco master glassmaker, a pupil of Daum in Nancy and creator of the Le Verre français art glass label, with his brother Ernest Schneider (1877-1937). Ernest and Charles Schneider grew up in Nancy. After their apprenticeship at the Daum glassworks, they founded their own company, Verreries Schneider, in Épinay-sur-Seine in 1913. The company's success continued after the end of hostilities in 1918. By 1925, it had five hundred employees and was selling its creations all over the world. The glass market was seriously affected by the Great Depression of 1929, however, and the Schneider brothers' company went bankrupt in 1938. The Charder brand: Verre français was Europe's largest art glassmaker in the 1920s-1930s. The vast majority of its creations, strongly influenced by the Nancy School, are by Charles Schneider.
