Usually, the Charder signature was used in conjunction with the engraved Le Verre Francais, but some pieces are signed legitimately only in cameo with the Charder signature. In addition, many pieces are acid-stamped FRANCE on the bottom, sometimes in combination with Ovington. Ovington was a decorative arts specialty store in New York that sold Le Verre glass in the USA, and their catalogs from those years carry advertisements offering Le Verre. Charles Schneider developed the Le Verre/Charder line in a marketing move to reach a broader public taste with an aesthetically pleasing product. His grandson, Jean-Charles Schneider, states in Bertrand’s book that Charles Schneider was the first to use modern marketing techniques for decorative arts. Charles Schneider developed all the designs for both lines of glass, but for Le Verre he gave the craftsmen freedom to select color, shape and size. That explains why some designs are available in different colors, with many pieces exhibiting variable hues. For the most part they did an excellent job of adapting the design to a given shape and size. tree designs, are quite impressive as large pieces. Charter and Le Verre glass achieved its impact through a combination of design, shape and color. The relatively short time of production (1918-1933) permits a fascinating view of the transition from art nouveau to art deco. Until the economic downturn in the world deprived the Schneider firm of viable markets, under the name Charder and Le Verre, glass imports to Europe and beyond were an unqualified success by any measure, exporting in large quantities to both North and South America, as well as selling to the European public. The work came in all sizes, from miniatures of 3\" or less, to monumental sizes of 36\" and more. Among the more exciting pieces are the lighting fixtures bearing the Charder name. Unfortunately with the close of the war, many of the larger piecesproduced under the Charder and Schneider names were destroyed or or housed in museum collections. Very few original large pieces remain on the open market, making the value of most remaininglamps, vases and chandeliers soar easily above $30,000.
