CHARDER. - Lot 334

CHARDER. Large multilayer bubble glass bowl, colorless, coral red and green shaded, with acid-etched, wheel engraved and polished decoration of a school of scorpion fish on a background of algae. The theme and the technique contribute to give the illusion of an aquarium. Signed in the "Charder" decor and engraved on the base "Verre français". Circa 1923-1925. Top. : 21,5 cm. Diam.: 42 cm. Bibliography: a very similar vase is described and photographed in Janine BLOCH-DERMANT's book "Le verre en France d'Émile Gallé à nos jours", page 229. Among the most beautiful models of French Glass (a brand created by Verreries Schneider in 1921), some are selected and are the subject of a production signed "Charder", a contraction of Charles Schneider. This production is more limited, with often Japanese shapes and decorations. Some pieces may bear both Charder and Verre français signatures.
