<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Touchdry, post: 1113532, member: 12381&quot;]This is all very interesting. Does any of this fit? 1896 a book of patents records him as being a ceramicist (unfortunately I cant get hold of the book to get more info!). By 1901 the Gourgbauld address was where he had been running a business called &quot;Jac-Galland&quot; ... in that year he was declared bankrupt. I have no info on what his business actually was - but I am sure it included Stained Glass work, Decoration, and Ceramics. As Fid has said, it is possible that his skill was in decorating windows and perhaps ceramics - which does imply that he might have &#039;bought in&#039; blanks and decorated them. Of course, this is all very subjective. Also, I am waiting for a french auction house that had three ceramics marked Galland up for sale ... if they deliver some pics I&#039;ll share them with you ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
