Émile Gallé (1846-1904)
Émile Gallé began working in the ceramic and glass workshop of his father in his childhood. He went to study philosophy, zoology, botany and mineralogy in Germany. In 1874, he took over the fatherly workshop. He opened another studio in 1883 making more room for the production of faïence, glass and wood. He came to Berlin in 1885 to study the collection of Chinese glass art at the Kunstgewerbemuseum, which took substantial influence on his style. Shops of his objects opened in Paris, Frankfurt and London and he had more than 300 employees in 1889. Three gold medals honored his faïence objects. However, Gallé kept concentrating on glass objects. In 1901, he founded the École de Nancy for glass artists together with Augustin and Antonin Daum, René Lalique and Gabriel Argy-Rousseau.
