Edouard Dammouse
Painter and ceramic decorator Edouard-Alexandre Dammousse was born in Belleville, an historically working class neighborhood in Paris, and studied painting under Felix Bracquemond before working with Ernest Chaplet at the Laurin factory. Later he joined the group of artists, including his brother Albert-Louis Dammousse, working, again, under Bracquemond at the C. Haviland studio at Auteuil. After the studio's closure in 1881, he went with Chaplet to the workshop on rue Blomet from 1882-1886. His work there was in naturalistic and oriental styles. He and his brother established a workshop at Sèvres producing stoneware and, later, glass.
