Schneider, Large Vase With Thorns Decor In Wrought Iron, 51 cm
Rare in this size, large vase with “Thorns” decoration in pink, yellow, orange powdered glass with green speckles, blown in a wrought iron frame with a flat foot surmounted by a golden ring.
The wrought iron frames were made by a special workshop within the Schneider factory.
The colorings of the glassworks roughly correspond to those of Jades or Marbles.
In the “Epines” vases, Schneider took advantage of the opposition between iron and glass. A 4-stem mount with branching thorns forces the molten blown glass to take on a twisted shape.
