Description:
 This is a great Art Deco cameo ewer made by the Schneider company under its Le Verre Francais trade name. The series name is "Fougeres", representing ferns coming out in the Spring with its so distinctive curlicue shape. It was adorned of a purple amethyst handle applied while the vessel was still hot. Ewers are not as common as vases in Schneider/Le Verre Francais work. The shape of this pitcher makes one think of the later Modernism style, even though done 20 years before anybody really knew what Modernism was. This is quite gorgeous and should please even the most discriminating collectors.
