Through its two emblematic lines – Schneider, for prestige pieces, and Le Verre Français (often signed Charder) for wider distribution – the house has successfully combined technical innovation, flamboyant colors and formal elegance. Each creation demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship: layered glass, acid-etched details, and stylized decorations inspired by nature or geometric patterns. The most sought-after works include vases, bowls, jewelry, lamps, and wall lights, all true icons of 1920s decorative art. Even today, Schneider pieces attract collectors and aesthetes worldwide with their rarity, refinement, and expressive power.
