Albert Dammouse first studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs , then in 1868 at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts with François Jouffroy . From 1868 to 1870 he worked in the atelier of the ceramicist Marc-Louis Solon (also called Milès ) and in 1869 he took part in a Paris salon for the first time with a plaster bust. 1971 opened Dammousse in Sèvres workshop, he will be with porcelain work, which he himself burned and decorated with colored reliefs. In 1874 he exhibited again and sent models of his work to various porcelain factories in Limoges .

In the same year he created designs for Pouyat et Dubreuil , which won numerous prizes at the Paris World Exhibition in 1878 with his designs. In 1875 Dammouse worked with the painter Félix Bracquemond , with whom he created the Service aux Oiseaux . Charles Haviland , the owner of the Haviland & Co. porcelain factory in Limoges, hired Dammouse from 1882 to 1886. Here he worked under the sculptor and ceramist Ernest Chaplet . Dammouse also worked for Gérard Dufraisseix et Abbot and Théodore Haviland .

At an exhibition of the Union centrale des Arts décoratifs , Dammouse received a gold medal in 1874, as well as at the Paris World Exhibition in 1889 . In 1889 he became a member of the Société nationale des beaux-arts and exhibited at their salon. In 1891 he became secretary of the society and in 1893 a member of the jury.

In 1892 Dammouse built his own kiln in his workshop in Sèvres and developed the pâte-sur-pâte production method . He made numerous faiences here , in which he was able to express his talent as a colourist and decorator through a broader range of colors. Together with his brother Édouard Alexandre Dammouse, he designed pieces mainly in the style of Japonism . Other of his works are kept in the style of naturalism .

From 1897 Dammouse also began to work with glass. At the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1898, he exhibited cups, bowls and goblets made of fine, opaque pâte de verre , which were decorated with plant or animal motifs. He was one of the few glass artists of his time who worked successfully with this medium.
