Eugène Feuillâtre learnt his craft whilst apprenticed to the well regarded enameller Louis Houillon. He experimented with enamelling on silver rather than the usual copper or gold. It resulted in his work having a new distinctive luminosity. His skill was recognised by the jeweller René Lalique, who appointed him head of his enamelling studio in 1890. Feuillâtre, however, moved to his own workshop in 1897 and by the following year was exhibiting at the Salon de la Societé des Artistes Français and had a work acquired by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. In 1900 he displayed his Peacock flacon at the Exposition Universelle, 1900, in Paris.

An example of this design was exhibited in the following:
Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1900
Exposition de la Miniature et des Arts Précieux, Paris, January 1902.
Fondation Neumann, Chateau de Gingins, 1994-2004
