After training in the laboratory of the Manufacture de S&egrave;vres, he became a chemist and worked in the factory founded by his father in 1866 at 8, rue Troyon in S&egrave;vres, a stone's throw from the Manufacture. From 1890, he gradually took over from his father. Like him, he will continue to benefit from the collaboration of the artists of the National Ceramics Manufacture of S&egrave;vres. In 1899, he married Marie-Louise Gibert (known as C&eacute;line), whose brother Paul held the position of director in Paris at Haviland, a famous Limoges porcelain manufacturer. Paul Milet worked with his father Optat Milet until his death in 1911, then with his son Henri, a ceramics engineer, who was appointed director of the factory in 1931, which did not prevent father and son from work in close collaboration. Participation in exhibitions<br /> At the Salon des artistes fran&ccedil;ais, Milet exhibits unique but also utilitarian pieces: inkwells, empty pockets, candlesticks. He obtained an honorary diploma at the Fire Arts exhibition in 1897.</span></span></p>
