"Imperial Privilege: Vienna Porcelain of Du Paquier, 1718–44" Exhibition
Closes in 8 days
At The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Media: Ceramics
The second porcelain factory in Europe able to make true porcelain in the manner of the Chinese was established in Vienna in 1718. Founded by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier, the small porcelain enterprise developed a highly distinctive style that remained Baroque in inspiration throughout the history of the factory, which was taken over by the State in 1744. Du Paquier produced a range of tablewares, decorative vases, and small-scale sculpture that found great popularity with the Hapsburg court and the Austrian nobility. This exhibition will chart the history of the development of the Du Paquier factory, setting its production within the historic and cultural context of Vienna in the first half of the eighteenth-century. The porcelain to be featured will be drawn from both the Metropolitan Museum and the premier private collection of this material.
Accompanied by a publication.
