From 1862 to 1879, he worked at the Manufacture de Sèvres as a modeler, then as a decorator. In 1866, he founded his own ceramic workshop on rue Troyon in Sèvres. He requested permission from the Town Hall of Sèvres to build a kiln a stone's throw from the Manufacture. He obtained it, and thus started an independent business that would continue until 1971, managed successively by his son Paul Milet (from 1890 to 1931) and his grandson Henri Milet (from 1931 to 1971). He also partnered with Clément Massier, from 1878 to 1880. In 1890, his son, Paul Milet, took over the workshop on rue Troyon.
Many of his pieces are in museums.
