Charles Ouizille was born in 1744 and followed in the footsteps of his half-brother Louis, and was, like him, apprenticed to Louis-Guillaume Cassé, his maternal uncle. He obtained the maitrise in 1771, sponsored by his relation-by-marriage Philippe-Antoine Magimel. Ouizille was appointed bijoutier du roi and appears frequently in the accounts of the Menus Plaisirs as a supplier of boxes.
