Muller Frères were French glassmakers located in Lunéville, France. They were renowned for producing art nouveau glassworks such as vases and lampshades.
The Muller family originally came from Alsace. Some members of the family worked together with Émile Gallé before starting their own business.
During its years of operation, the company exhibited in national and international expositions. These include the 1876 Centennial Exposition, for which the company received an award. Also, Edward Miller & Co. exhibited in the 1879-80 Sydney International Exhibition and 1881 Melbourne International Exhibition in Australia; the 1889 Meriden Opera House exhibition; the 1899 Greater America Exposition in Omaha, Nebraska; and the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.[4] Museums holding the company’s design in their collections include the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford; the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York; The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, as well as museums in Australia and New Zealand.
