Historical Note

Atelier Dammouse was the producing workshop associated with Albert-Louis Dammouse at Sèvres, in the Hauts-de-Seine department of Île-de-France. The atelier name appears on Bestiaire object credits when workshop production is distinguished from the individual authorship of Dammouse himself, who worked as ceramist, sculptor, and decorator within a single integrated practice.

Objects linked to the atelier reflect the refined Sèvres-area tradition of Japoniste and Art Nouveau ceramics: sculptural relief combined with atmospheric glazes, particularly in aquatic and animal subjects. The Bestiaire’s Koi and Waves Charger, c. 1900, carries the impressed artist’s stamp and exemplifies the workshop’s spare, painterly approach to freshwater iconography.

For institutional records, Atelier Dammouse serves as the firm credit on object records; the individual biography of Albert-Louis Dammouse remains under Artists.
