Mid-Century Modern Sculptural Handblown Glass Vase by Charles Schneider
-
Description
This stunning translucent glass vase was handblown by the fabled French glass studio, Charles Schneider, circa 1950. It features a cylindrical body that tapers downwards to a circular base. Bulbous forms- resembling accretions of melted wax- hang from each side like abstracted gargoyles, imbuing the piece with a dynamic and sculptural quality that can be appreciated from every vantage. The glass has an abundance of miniscule bubbles of varying sizes, suggesting effervescent water. With its unique and captivating form and impeccable construction, this vase is not only a perfect vessel for presenting flower arrangements, but an objet d'art in its own right. It is signed "Schneider France" on the base. Excellent condition.
France, circa 1950 -
