Hi

I've been watching your enquiry with interest.

I have always wondered why, particularly in the UK, Schneider is so little collected.

I know this board spreads much further than the UK but still you seem to have had little response. I think Schneider made some of the best glass there is (personally I prefer the pieces they branded Schneider to the Charder and LVF)

Well I do buy (and sell) it and almost all the pieces I sell go to either Australia or New Zealand -strange!

Good for you for collecting such great glass!

cheers

Mike

You just don't see it here, even if you could afford it.

Schneider was a major item in UK 80s/90s, but seemed to have slipped off the horizon by 2000s as British glass from the period gathered a following in the 90s. I was quite amazed a few years ago that many on this board had not even heard of it. Still fairly strong on the continent. Portobello and Bermondsey used to be a good source.

Mike, I drool over your site listings regularly  ;D your glass is absolutely fabulous.   I would love a 'serious' piece of glass, but for me that would entail not spending on any for a while and I haven't quite got my head round that way of thinking.....yet...

 ;D

Speaking of which, would you be willing to put a link to your site in your "signature" bit here, Mike? Please?
It would make it easier for us to investigate and drool over it.....

   Thanks to all the responders from Georgetown Massachusetts
 
   I agree with mike;the Schneiders are in my opinion more appealing than LVF pieces

I am trying to post pictures of a very special vase I got from my dad but cannot make them go through since I get an error message because of having a limit on the MB contect of each

Any help or shortcut tips appreciated

Nice pieces.

The best I can do is a Degue vase which has been in my loft for the last few years
