Edmond Lachenal (1855-c.1930) was a French sculptor and ceramist collaborating with both Theodore Deck and with the directors at the Daum glassworks. He is noted for developing a velvety textured glaze and for perfecting metallic enamels in the 1890's. His work met with success at the Exposition Universelle in Paris (1900).
