Ernest and Charles Schneider grew up in Nancy. After their apprenticeship at the Daum glass factory, they founded their own company, Verreries Schneider, in Épinay-sur-Seine in 1913. The company's success continued after the end of hostilities in 1918. It had up to five hundred employees in 1925 and sold its creations all over the world. The glass market was, however, seriously affected by the Great Depression of 1929 and led the Schneider brothers' company to bankruptcy in 1938. The Charder manufacturing brand: Le Verre français was the largest art glassworks in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. A large majority of its creations, very influenced by the Nancy school, are due to Charles Schneider.
