Royal Vienna Porcelain Group of Children Playing Wedding, ca. 1915

About the Item

This wonderful porcelain sculptural group depicting children playing in an 'adult wedding’ conveys with surprising accuracy the emotional component of the moment, conveyed in the expression of children's faces. Dimensions: Height: 7.13 inches (17.82cm) With: 11.75 inches (29.37) Depth: 4.5 inches (11.25cm) Royal Vienna Porcelain. The Royal Vienna Porcelain Manufactory (German: Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) was a porcelain manufacturer in Alsergrund in Vienna, Austria. It was founded in 1718 and continued until 1864. The firm was Europe's second-oldest porcelain factory after Meissen porcelain, and for 25 years the two remained the only European producers. Initially it was a private enterprise, founded by Claude du Paquier,[ an official of the Viennese Imperial court, but in 1744 it was rescued from financial difficulties when bought by the Empress Maria Theresa, and thereafter remained an asset of the emperors. The Imperial State Manufactory Vienna (the original Royal Vienna porcelain works) made porcelains from 1744 to 1864, when it closed. ... After 1864, many other small factories in Austria were permitted to use the name "Royal Vienna," and they often used the underglaze beehive mark.
