In the late 1890s and onwards, the ceramicist Edmond Lachenal undertook several trips to the Loire and created around thirty exceptional works with the firm Daum (only nine are known today). A white crystal glass service was even exhibited at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1904. The only collaboration between these two great names of the 20th century preserved at the Musée d'Orsay is the polychrome enameled white crystal glass service "Gui".
