Paul Milet was the son of the ceramist Félix Optat Milet (1838–1911). After training at the Sèvres Manufactory’s laboratory, he became a chemist and worked at the factory founded by his father in 1866 at 8 Rue Troyon in Sèvres, just a stone’s throw from the Manufactory.Beginning in 1890, he gradually took over from his father. Like his father, he continued to benefit from the collaboration of artists from the Sèvres National Ceramics Manufactory.
In 1899, he married Marie-Louise Gibert (known as Céline), whose brother Paul held a position as director in Paris at Haviland, the famous Limoges porcelain manufacturer.
Paul Milet worked with his father, Optat Milet, until the latter’s death in 1911, and then with his son Henri, a ceramics engineer, who was appointed director of the factory in 1931—a position that did not prevent father and son from working closely together
