From the Internet; Charles Crépin Nicolas Catteau (Douai (Douai), January 26, 1880 - Nice, October 20, 1966) was a French potter and designer, known for his oeuvre in the art deco style with pronounced use of color. He produced many of his designs for the Boch Frères pottery manufacture in La Louvière. Life Charles Catteau was born on Jan. 26, 1880, in Douai, France, to a pottery family with a Belgian father and a French mother. He studied at the Ecole nationale de Céramique in Sèvres, part of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. Catteau began working at the Porzellanmanufaktur Nymphenburg in Munich until 1906, when he went to work at the Boch Frères pottery in La Louvière. Already in 1907, he became head designer there. He built on the Art Nouveau style and introduced the enamel cloisonné technique there in the mid-1920s. He continued to work here until 1945. Catteau Collection Charles Catteau's designs did not go unnoticed, and he was soon discovered by Brussels collector Marcel Stal. In 1999, the private collection, Catteau Collection, was donated to the King Baudouin Foundation. The collection is now on loan at both the Museum of Art & History in Brussels and KERAMIK in la Louvaine.
