Style and technique by Amalric Walter
Amalric Walter is part of the Art Nouveau movement. He collaborated with the Manufacture de Sèvres and then with Daum, producing works in glass following his artistic vein.
The life of Almaric Walter
Amalric Walter (1870-1959), French glassmaker, produced works in porcelain and pâte de verre. He trained at the manufacture de Sèvres, and early in his career produced earthenware. At the 1900 Universal Exhibition, his work is noticed. For his part, he noticed the glass works on display there, which inspired him to work with glass in turn.
Five years later, he joined the manufacture Daum, which enabled him to make his work even better known. He produces works in paste glass, with Henri Bergé. The collaboration lasts ten years. He then opens his own glass workshop in Nancy. He also reproduces sculptures by other artists, notably Rodin. His workshop closed in 1935, and his artistic production came to a halt at that time, due to changing tastes in Europe and the oncoming war.
He died in 1959 in great poverty.
