draftsman, painter and sculptor Edmond Lachenal was especially remarkable ceramist. He worked for ten years at Theodore Deck which he soon became foreman, before settling on his own in the Paris suburbs from 1880. He first produced pottery in the style of Iznik, then, from 1890, he devoted himself to the sandstone and sandstone with slub, always maintaining a taste for Japanese style shapes and decorations. Shortly after 1900, Lachenal abandoned ceramics and turned to drama, confident in his studio in 1904 to his wife and his son Raoul. He plays the comedy starring Sarah Bernhardt, with which the rumor lent him a link. Remarried in 1913, he devoted himself to the dice in easel painting and pastel. (Musée d'Orsay source). His technical mastery allowed him to address all ceramic varieties, its scenery and subjects, always in a naturalistic mind are countless. We owe him a particularly fine enamel appearance and extremely silky texture, due to the use of hydrochloric acid.
