World Famous for his innovative work in several areas of the decorative arts, including glass, furniture & faience, Emile Galle` (1846-1904) was born & died in the town of Nancy in eastern France. He first learned the craft of ceramics: these by helping his father Charles run the family business in the nearby town of Saint Cle`ment. The Galle factory at Saint clement produced fantasy faience items during the period 1864-1876. By this time Charles had retired and the production of faience was transferred to Nancy.
