Male Bust Biscuit Porcelain Vienna Austria 1812, Francis I of Habsburg

About the Item

Biscuit Porcelaine Male Bust, resting on a glazed and partially gilded ceramic base, bearing the inscription “PATER PATRIAE”; in the lower part there is the trademark with the Austrian shield and the three digits relating to the year of production “[1] 812”, and other two digits “53”. The bust in question was made by the successful Vienna ceramics factory, founded in 1717 by Du Paquier, establishing itself as the second in Europe for the production of biscuit works. From 1744 it became the property of the imperial house of Austria and its production began from that date to be branded with the royal shield. Certainly important for the history of manufacturing was the direction under Sorgenthal, from 1784 to 1805, which directed the works towards the now prevailing neoclassical taste; he also had the year of construction stamped on each piece, together with the blue shield: the last two digits up to 1800, while after the last three, allowing, as in our case, a precise dating.
