Louis Auguste DAGE (1885-1963)Louis Dage specializes in decorative objects, vases, tobacco sets, ashtrays, bowl.Identifying his creations for those who do not know them is quite easy because the artist took care to sign his works. In 1924, Louis Dage won the famous "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" prize and was awarded the grand prize at the 1924 Artisan Exhibition. In the early 1930s, he worked on the decoration of the ocean liner Le Normandie. Louis Dage was one of the key transitional artists who began working in the expression of Art Nouveau and, by 1930, he was a leader in the development of Art Deco. Indeed, he was also ahead of his time in that he explored sculptural aspects and thick "lava" glazes that became very popular by 1950.
