After finishing school with a high school diploma, he studied philosophy, zoology, botany and mineralogy in Weimar from 1862. Emile Gallé stayed in Germany until 1866. Through his studies of mineralogy he came into contact with glass production. He then learned the art of glassblowing. He then visited London, where, among other things, he represented his father's company at the "Art de France" exhibition. He returns to Nancy via Paris. Gallé began to work with experiments and new glassblowing techniques. He developed new forms of representation, particularly in artistic decorations. These included marbling, reflections and bubble formation as well as melting of gold and silver foil.
In 1874, Emile Gallé took over management of his father's business. In 1875 he married the pastor's daughter Henriette Grimm. He then opened the studio "La Garenne" in Nancy. In 1878 he took part in the World Exhibition in Paris. Here his work was awarded four gold medals. After successful years, the studio was significantly expanded in 1883 to include workshops for glass, ceramics and wood products. At the Paris exhibition "La Pierre, la Terre, le Verre" he was again awarded gold. In 1885 he traveled to Berlin to study the collection of Chinese glass art at the Museum of Decorative Arts. In addition to his workshop in Nancy, Emile Gallé opened his first shop in Paris in 1885. Frankfurt followed in 1887 and London in 1889. Meanwhile, Emile Gallé became one of the most famous glass artists in Europe.
By the end of the 1880s he employed more than 300 people. In 1889 he was appointed officer of the French Legion of Honor. In 1900 he was awarded two Grand Prix and a gold medal at the World Exhibition. He was also appointed Commander of the Legion of Honor. In 1901 he founded the glass art school "Ecole de Nancy" with his brothers Augustin and Antonin Daum as well as René Lalique and Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, of which he became the first rector. In 1893 he took part again in the World's Fair in Chicago. In 1901 Gallé showed his works in Dresden and in 1902 in Turin. Gallé left the art world with crucial innovations in glass processing that had a profound influence on future glassblowing artists.
