Henri Loux

Henri Édouard Loux (20 February 1873, Auenheim - 19 January 1907, Strasbourg) was an Alsatian designer, watercolorist and poster artist.

At the urging of his drawing teacher and his father (who was also a teacher), he attended the École supérieure des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg [fr], where he made the acquaintance of Léo Schnug and the ceramicist, Léon Elchinger [fr].

During this time, he began his career doing graphic work for a new magazine called the Neuer Elsässer Bilderbogen.

The designs consist primarily of country and village scenes, typical of Alsace around the year 1900.

In 1978, Utzschneider was bought out by the Fenal family, owners of the Faïencerie de Lunéville-Saint-Clément [fr], which still manufactures this tableware.
