He founded the "Verrerie de l'Est" around 1919 in Jarville, near Nancy, and quickly gained international recognition with his expressive glass creations.
Delatte was known for his mastery of pâte de verre, etched glass and engraved decorations, often executed in warm tones with floral or stylized motif. His work is characterized by refinement, technical perfection and an unmistakable artistic signature.
