The subtle smoky grey tones on this vase enhance its warm amber and orange hues, creating a soft, dreamlike depth characteristic of Schneider’s artistry. While sometimes referred to as “cloud glass,” this effect is more accurately described as a delicate fumé or smoky shading. This intentional layering technique adds atmosphere and contrast without the pronounced marbling or opaque patches typically associated with true cloud glass. This nuanced interplay of color elevates the vase’s ethereal, liquid-fire glow and showcases the masterful craftsmanship of the Schneider studio.
