## About Charles Schneider

Charles Schneider (1881–1953) was a French master glassmaker associated with Art Deco. Authority records also classify him as a sculptor and medalist, although glass is the clearest focus of the collected biographical evidence. Born in Château-Thierry, Schneider created the Le Verre français art-glass brand with his brother Ernest Schneider. Collectors therefore encounter his name chiefly in connection with French decorative glass and objects associated with Schneider or Le Verre français. Careful entity matching is important because auction records filed under this name span several broad categories, not all of which necessarily represent the glassmaker’s documented production. For appraisal purposes, the useful starting point is to distinguish Schneider glass from merely attributed, workshop-related, or namesake material. Objects should then be compared by medium, date, size, condition, marks, provenance, and closely related public sales. The strongest supported context presents Schneider as a French Art Deco glass designer and maker rather than as a general fine artist.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports art glass and decorative glass objects as the work types most closely connected with Charles Schneider. Material associated with the Le Verre français brand is also relevant to his collecting context. Authority data additionally describes Schneider as a sculptor and medalist, but the available sources do not provide enough detail to characterize recurring sculptural subjects or specific medal series. Auction entries in unrelated media should be checked carefully for namesakes or overly broad artist-name matching before being treated as Schneider comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily market page contains a substantial body of matched public auction records, but its categories extend beyond decorative art to paintings, works on paper, sculpture, mixed media, and editions. That breadth makes lot-level identity review essential before drawing conclusions from the aggregate data. For Schneider glass, comparisons should prioritize objects with similar medium, date, dimensions, marks, attribution, condition, and restoration history. Provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and the relationship to Le Verre français can also help define a relevant comparison set. Public realized prices are evidence points, not predictions; fee treatment, incomplete feeds, private transactions, and later attribution changes can limit direct comparisons.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Individual records should still be reviewed for identity, attribution, condition, and fee consistency.
