His company La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling, founded in Paris in 1909,[4] manufactured decorative object and commissioned sculptors and artists, including Georges Béal,[4][5] Demétre Chiparus,[3] Claire Colinet,[3] Armand Godard,[4] Geneviève Granger,[4] Marcel Guillard,[4] Maurice Guiraud-Rivière,[3] Géza Hiecz,[4] Fanny Rozet,[3] and Lucille Sévin.[4] Other artists worked with Etling when casting their statuettes including Aurore Onu, Marcel Bouraine, Pierre Le Faguays,[6] 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.[4] Most items bore the cast signature "Etling France" followed by a model number related to the Choisy-le-Roi catalogue.[7]

In 1910, Etling was awarded the diplome d'honneur at Brussels International (1910).[3] In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Prix in Paris.[3] In 1940, Etling closed his shop due to World War II.[4] Because Etling was of Jewish descent, he was send to a Nazi concentration camp where he died.[4]

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