Charles and Ernest, the brothers behind Schneider, worked for Daum before setting up their own eponymous glass business—a detail that explains how they came to be crystal cognoscentis. They were considered some of the finest innovators of their time, which is highlighted in these bud vases, complete with prominent pooled bases. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
