Charles Catteau was born to a Belgian father and a French mother. After studying ceramic engineering at the manufacture nationale de Sèvres - which later became the École nationale supérieure de céramique industrielle - where he worked for two years, he left for Germany in 1904 to the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory near Munich.

He worked with all materials, trying all genres (Japanese, African, figurative, cubist...) and he found great success, with international recognition during the Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1925 and a Grand Prix. He left several vases behind including famous stoneware, with stylised motifs drawn from flora and fauna. After the Second World War, Charles Catteau retired to Nice on the French Riviera.
