Albert-Louis Dammouse was born in Sèvres, Paris, the son of a modeler and decorator at the national factory, where he had an early apprenticeship. Around 1892, after working at various potteries, including Haviland & Co., he established his own studio-workshop in Sèvres with his brother Edouard-Alexandre. They specialized in decoration inspired by patterns and images from the Far and Middle East. In the early 1900s he began to work in glass, concentrating on that alone in his last years. Dammouse was awarded the rank of Commander of the Légion d'honneur in 1926 and his work is held in numerous museums in France (Palais Galliera, Musée des arts décoratifs and Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Musée national de Céramique, Sèvres, and the Musée national Adrien-Dubouché, Limoges), the United States, and Germany.
