Auguste Jean worked at the Clichy crystal works from the 1870s onwards. He is renowned for his objects with revolutionary forms and Japanese-inspired decorations. He ceased working in the 1880s, yet his work enjoyed a significant posthumous reputation, establishing him as one of the great pioneering glassmakers of Art Nouveau’s formal innovations.
