About the Item

Pair of exquisite 19th century Royal Vienna porcelain vases. A fine example of the Neo-Classical Austrian style, these vases are decorated with an ornate garden floral motif. Encrusted with sculptural bunches of pink and yellow roses, and painted with tiny bees, butterflies, and gold accents. The Royal Vienna mark (Bindenschild, or shield) appears on the base of each vase in blue. Each vase measures 7"H x 4"W x 4"D. History of The Royal Vienna Porcelain Factory: The Royal Vienna Porcelain factory was founded in 1717 by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier. Du Paquier, on studying father d’Entrecolles’ letters and after conducting experiments hoped, with the help of Christoph Conrad Hunger, to reveal the secrets of porcelain production. His attempts were unsuccessful until 1718, when he secured the services of the arcanist Samuel Stölzel, a previous employee of the Meissen Porcelain factory. During its formative years the Vienna porcelain factory had a very hard time due to enormous economic problems and some of its most valued employees left the factory. In 1720, Samuel Stolzel returned to Meissen, and took Johann Gregor Horoldt with him. In the same year Christoph Conrad Hunger left for Venice, where he founded another European porcelain factory. The 1718-1744 period is called the ‘Du Paquier period’, or ‘Vienna before the mark’. Up to 1730, they produced chinoiserie, following the Meissen trend. Some of the pieces were marked with a stylised chinese imperial mark. From 1731 Vienna porcelain production was changed to objects in Viennese baroque style that were unmarked. However, Du Paquier still had major financial problems and was forced to sell the factory in 1744 to the Austrian empress Maria Theresia. This began the "State period" when the Vienna shield mark (Bindenschild) the arms of the Austrian court, was introduced. From 1744 to 1749 the shield mark was applied in red or in blue underglaze, or incised. From 1749 to 1827 the mark was applie d in a blue underglaze. From 1827 to 1850 the blind - stamped shield mark was re-introduced. A break occured during the Vienna state period (1744- 1784) at around 1760. Before then the factory produced rococo style wares. After 1760, there was a move towards the neo-classical in the Sevres style. Sevres Porcelain being one of the leading porcelain factories in Europe, at the time. Between 1750 and 1780, the best pieces destined for the Austrian court were distinguised by a special shield mark in underglaze blue. Seconds were marked with either a red or green ‘A’ over the underglaze blue mark or by two intersecting nicks over the mark.
