Alexandre Bigot initially trained in the sciences, earning a degree in physics in 1884. He was also a doctor of chemistry and became interested early on in creating glazes that resembled natural gemstones. After a brief stint in the studio of Beyer (1873-1945) in Switzerland, he settled in Aunay. In 1889, like many artists of his generation, he was deeply influenced by the Oriental ceramics he discovered at the Exposition Universelle. Among these artists was Jean Carriès, who, like Bigot, owned his own studio and conducted research into ceramics. The two artists maintained a correspondence regarding their respective ceramic research, and Bigot showed a keen interest in Carriès' work.
His skills as a chemist led to collaborations with numerous artists. He subsequently developed a significant production business for architectural ceramics while continuing to create his own works. He is notably responsible for the stoneware at the Villa Majorelle, the decorations for Guimard's Castel Béranger, and numerous collaborations with Lavirotte.
