louis damon (1860-1947) became the owner of the store "au vase etrusque" at 20 rue malesherbes in paris in 1887, at the age of 27. A highly creative individual, he had a decoration workshop and personally designed his models to sell them.

in 1889, the daum brothers entrusted him with the finishing of berluz vases with long handles. These were crafted in his workshop, where they were finely engraved with cameo or intaglio techniques featuring vegetal ornaments, which damon himself drew in the art nouveau style.

he also distributed a range of glassware from vallerysthal, portieux, and baccarat. Awarded a silver medal at the 1900 universal exhibition, he partnered with his brother-in-law delente. From then on, his work was signed damon and delente/au vase etrusque. In the 1920s, the store moved to 4 avenue pierre 1er de serbie in paris and became etablissements damon, with workshops at 13 rue verniquet in paris, producing electrical devices and art glass.

louis damon's creations from 1889 to 1905 were signed ldamon, ldamon/paris, or damon/paris, sometimes followed by the address 20, bd malesherbes. This piece has an attribution mark,
