Schneider vase with metal base
Marianne:
Hello everyone!
I recently inherited a glass vase from a relative in Switzerland. It seems to me to be of very high quality, and I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about it?
It has metal (bronze??) base, which has the mark 'st. eloy' and a monk icon.
On the glass, is the signature 'SCHNEIDER'.
It is mainly purple glass, with orange circles of glass around the base. Hopefully the picures will load so you can see it?
Can anyone tell me about its age, collectibility, the maker?
TIA, and greetings from Western Australia!
Marianne

Looking forward to seeing the pix.
First clue: The item was made by the Charles Schneider glassworks in France between 1913 and 1940.
Marianne:
Hi Ivo, thankyou for the reply!
Sorry the pics didn't load, I'll try again.
Marianne:
I'm sorry that's not the best picture, and doesn't show the signature etc, but that's what I have on my phone right now - my iPad isnt cooperating ATM!
Is Schneider a well-known glass artist? I've had a quick google and it seems he was quite prolific - what an amazing body of work!
Any other info would be greatly appreciated!
Ivo:
I cannot find this decor in the catalogue and the shape is obscure in the photo. We would really like to look at the signature, and at the bottom of the piece. A photograph showing the shape could help determine date and model.
