Muller Frères
The Muller brothers learned the art of glass making in the prominent French crystal glass manufactoryCristalleries de Saint-Louis and later with Émile Gallé in Nancy. In 1895, Henri Muller founded his own glass factory, together with his brothers. Inspired by the Ecole de Nancy and using the production methods of Gallé and Daum, the company started manufacturing vases made of multi-coloured glass. From 1925 onwards, the manufactory, which counted 350 employees, was increasingly successful and specialised in the production of vases, lamps, decorative glass and vials, which remain very sought after by collectors.
