André Fernand Thesmar
André Fernand Thesmar (2 March 1843 – 5 April 1912) was a French enameler. He is credited with bringing the style of soft-paste porcelain back into style, alongside sections with gold foil backings, in the 20th century. He also used the method of plique-à-jour, (French for "braid letting in daylight") including works that were often inspired by Japanese and Chinese enameling. This artistic work required great deal of expertise, skill and delicacy. He showed his work at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. His work is found in the collections of the Walters Art Museum, the Hessian State Museum, and the Toledo Museum of Art.
