Vous le connaissez et vous l’aimez, ce doux colosse qui tuerait un bœuf d’un coup de poing, et dont les doigts ont des caresses d’enfant. Il aime son grès comme vous aimez le verre. Il passe ses nuits, lors des fournées, à veiller son feu ; il couche auprès comme un gardien jaloux ; celui-là ne sait pas séparer l’Art du métier, les deux mots n’ont qu’un sens, et il a conquis presque aussi vite que vous l’attention des gens de haut goût. On dit : Gallé et Delaherche, comme si vous étiez deux artistes d’autrefois, et vos meilleures œuvres sont déjà des pièces de collection. Donc, Delaherche a, cet été, quitté Paris et l’atelier de la rue Blomet, et il s’en est allé avec sa femme vivre près de Beauvais, son pays, comme vous près de Nancy. Il a acheté une maison de paysan, a bâti son four, a gâché sa terre et il a cherché. Dans une pomme de pin il a trouvé un vase simple et charmant, dont la forme simplifiée convient aux nuances du grès flambé ; il l’a fait sans s’inquiéter de savoir que le pin était consacré à Cybèle, et que ses fruits étaient offerts, dans les sacrifices, à Bacchus. Il a ramassé des marguerites dans les prés, et du calice entr’ouvert d’une de ces fleurs qu’il a grandi, il a fait un porte-bouquet délicieux que vernisse l’émail. Le nénuphar est devenu un plat, une patène, une coupe à libation, je ne sais quoi de noble, de superbe, qui n’est plus le nénuphar, qui n’est pas une rosace, mais qui convient au grès, s’accorde logiquement avec les conditions de tournage et de cuisson, d’émail et de coloration, qu’il semble que cela ait toujours existé ainsi. Le talent de Delaherche est simple, sa ligne puissante, il voit grand et n’a pas souci du détail ; il s’entend à tracer un profil, à tourner un bassin, à inscrire un motif large dans une forme appropriée ; son art n’est compris à cause de cela que des artistes et des gens doués d’un goût parfait. Rien n’est complet comme une belle plante dans un de ses grès, cela forme un tout harmonieux, et il en faut faire l’expérience sur les enfants pour voir combien leur esprit droit et prime-sautier est séduit par l’accord de la fleur et du vase. Delaherche a donc rapporté de sa saison d’été toute une première démonstration tirée de la plante, et le sentiment public lui a donné raison : ses premières fournées ont été enlevées d’enthousiasme”.

Linzeler, sera sans doute aussi commode à l’usage qu’il est satisfaisant à l’œil. Voici donc un morceau beau par lui-même, en dehors de toute espèce d’ornement sculpté. Il fournit la preuve palpable qu’il n’est nullement nécessaire d’écraser toutes surfaces sous un déluge de “motifs” pour que l’objet contente notre sens esthétique. L’artiste, ici, n’a cherché son effet que dans l’harmonie du galbe, dans le jeu des tons et des matériaux, dans le sentiment de confortable, de logique qui émane de son œuvre. Et il a pleinement réussi. C’est bien ainsi que veut être le véritable art industriel : harmonique et commode. S’il n’est qu’art, nous souffrons dans notre bien-être ; s’il n’est qu’industriel, nos yeux s’attristent de sa sécheresse. Ainsi les deux vases qu’expose en même temps M. Linzeler nous donnent, malgré la recherche de leur décor, une certaine impression de lourdeur à côté de la masse tranquille de ce broc où le ton du grès se marie si bien à l’éclat de l’argent.” Charles Torquet, L’Orfèvrerie et le bronze, L’Art Décoratif, août 1901, page 214 L’Orfèvrerie aux Salons de 1901, Revue de la bijouterie, de l’orfèvrerie et de la joaillerie, August 1901, ill. p. 132 “Quelques artistes cependant obéissent à la logique.

Indeed, they acquired the firm of Charles Lerosey (Le Rosey), who decorated soft-paste porcelain vases by Naudot, often with Japoniste floral designs and sometimes with émail cloissoné, following the technique introduced by Thesmar to Sèvres. Some pieces were decorated by Louis Eugéne Sieffert, others by Adolphe Faugeron. Their works were exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. Their work seems to be quite rare.
