It was at Nancy that Charles Schneider (1881-1953) trained in the Daum glassworks at the height of the École de Nancy period. In 1913 he founded with his brother Ernest the Verreries Schneider company at Épinay-sur-Seine.
This book shows in its rich variety the production of one of the greatest glassworks between the two World Wars, presenting many works as yet unpublished or unknown. They all bear evidence to the genius of one man, a pioneer of Art Deco in his field, whose creative activity was at once original and colourful.
