Additional information
Emile MULLER founded his firm 'La Grande Tuilerie" (the big tilery) in 1854 in Ivry near Paris. He created ceramic products for construction work and industry, then in 1884, elaborated a special enameled terra cotta for architectural decorative elements and reproductions of works of art. Artists such as Eugène GRASSET, Henri de TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Louis CHALON, Isidore de RUDDER, or sculptors like VIBERT, CHARPENTIERS, FIX-MASSEAU, FALGUIERE, GUILLOT, SZYMONOWSKI, found in Emile MULLER a partner of great quality who elaborated materials perfectly adapted to their work. This cooperation brought fame to his name. His son, Louis MULLER, took over the company in 1889 changing the name to "Emile Muller and Co." The company regularly participated in World's Fairs and received a Grand Prix and three gold medals in Brussels in 1897.
