Emile Lenoble (1876 - 1939) studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris and then became a student of Ernest Chaplet. After the First World War, his ceramic creations became more minimalist, more concentrated, and more clearly influenced by Asian designs. Today, he is considered one of the most important ceramists of the Art Déco era, his works are represented in numerous large museum collections, including the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago and the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York.
