Title: Schneider Glass
Post by: Angela B on May 11, 2009, 04:07:23 AM

We have just posted a new article on the Glass Museum "Charles Schneider: Art Deco Glass Genius" by Tom Karman, edited by yours truly.
From his early production in 1918 Charles Schneider mesmerized the world with flamboyant designs that heralded his bold vision of the future.
Tom's article gives an in-depth view of the many designs and styles of glass produced by Schneider both in his Schneider art glass range and in the Le Verre Francais and Charder range.
Hope you will enjoy reading it and find it useful:

Thanks Mike, the encouragement is appreciated.
It would be interesting to know which museums have a good Schneider collection.
The way to make it more popular in the UK might be for someone to organise an exhibition, possibly using items loaned by collectors. Then perhaps for someone to prepare a book of the exhiibition. But that would take a dedicated enthusiast with a lot of time to spare  8)
