In 1854, Emile Muller founded “La Grande Tuilerie” in Ivry, a factory producing roofing accessories, which later expanded its activities to include façade decorations, notably in stoneware or glazed earthenware. Emile Muller died in 1889; his son Louis succeeded him, notably taking part in the Chicago World’s Fair; the tile works continued to operate until 1908.
