Ernst Wahliss was an Austrian ceramicist who created ornate porcelain and earthenware vessels for the European market. Known for his small sculptures, the artist often depicted women dressed in opulent costumes.
Born on March 1, 1837 in Oschatz in, Wahliss began his career as the traveling salesman for a porcelain factory at age 30. He later left to found his own ceramics company, and soon began exporting porcelain goods across Europe. To meet the high demand for his pottery and sculptures, the artist opened his own department store, Wahliss, in 1863 in Vienna’s city center. By the late 1880s Wahliss had established himself as Vienna’s leading retailer in porcelain and ceramic goods. His international success enabled him to open stores in major European cities, including London, supplying many of the European royal families in ceramics of the highest quality.
Wahliss died on July 18, 1900 in Vienna, Austria?.
