Émile Gallé (1846-1904) was a designer who made glass, pottery, furniture, and other Art Nouveau items. Emile Galle founded his factory in France in 1874. Galle developed a marquetry process that involved embedding pieces of colored glass in the body of a large piece of glass to create a design. The name Galle was used as a mark, but it was often hidden in the design of the object.
