His company La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling, founded in Paris in 1909, [5] manufactured decorative object and commissioned sculptors and artists, including Georges Béal, [5] [6] Demétre Chiparus, [4] Claire Colinet, [4] Armand Godard, [5] Geneviève Granger, [5] Marcel Guillard, [5] Maurice Guiraud-Rivière, [4] Géza Hiecz, [5] Fanny Rozet, [4] and Lucille Sévin. [5] Other artists worked with Etling when casting their statuettes including Aurore Onu, Marcel Bouraine, Pierre Le Faguays, [7] Raymonde Guerbe, and André Vincent Becquerel.

Etling is known for light blue opalescent objects such as plates and bowls, which were also produced in gray and frosted glass. [5] Most items bore the cast signature "Etling France" followed by a model number related to the Choisy-le-Roi catalogue. [8]

In 1910, Etling was awarded the diplome d'honneur at Brussels International (1910). [4] In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Prix in Paris. [4] In 1940, Etling closed his shop due to World War II. [5] Because Etling was of Jewish descent, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp, where he died. [5]

In the 1970s, the Manufacture Royale de Porcelaine de Sèvres reproduced some Etling designs, particularly the female nudes.
