Edouard Dammouse and the Atelier d’Auteuil
The Dammouse collection, signed by the talented paintor decorator Édouard Dammouse, was created from a watercolor he produced for Haviland around 1880. A renowned painter and engraver, he joined the Atelier d’Auteuil alongside Félix Bracquemond.
L'Atelier d'Auteuil, directed by Félix Bracquemond from 1872, was a workshop for the creation and printing of decors in Paris. Haviland's aim was to bring creative work closer to the hustle and bustle of the capital, and to provide artists with a space for experimentation. Thanks to innovations such as colored liquid clay, artists could capture movement and light effects on ceramics. In 1875, Ernest Chaplet joined the studio, which also welcomed renowned artists such as Gauguin and Dammouse. Inspired by Japanese art and Impressionism, they created original decorations on pieces with new shapes.
Heritage collection : Impératrice Eugénie
The designer Léonce Ribière created a décor for Empress Eugénie, a creation faithful to the Napoleon III style. Adorned with violets, symbolizing timidity and modesty, this décor was reproduced by Haviland in 1967 from a model by Lassère, a student of the renowned designer.
