A double anniversary is being celebrated: 100 years of the “Vienna Rose” decor and 100 years of the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory at the Augarten Palace site
It is always a pleasure to see the beautiful porcelain products from the Augarten manufactory in Vienna. The craftsmanship and timeless beauty of these pieces attract collectors and enthusiasts from all over the world.
Some things age like a fine wine - they only become more desirable over time. This undoubtedly also applies to the " Vienna Rose " decor, which is celebrating its proud anniversary this year! This decor has fascinated people since the 1920s and has proven to be a timeless icon of porcelain art.
Rose motifs were in great demand in every era of Viennese porcelain. From the Baroque to the Classicism and the Biedermeier, they adorned the fine dinner service and the coffee bowls that were extremely popular in Vienna! In the Art Deco era, the "Viennese Rose" decor corresponded to the attitude to life and the longings of the time. And even today, it exudes joy and happiness on a stylishly set table.
This decor has been popular and sought after for 100 years, and it has also been 100 years since this high-quality and elegant porcelain was produced at the current location of the Augarten Porcelain Manufactory. A double anniversary is therefore being celebrated. This underlines the outstanding craftsmanship and tradition that characterizes the Viennese Augarten Porcelain Manufactory.
Emperor Joseph II (1741 – 1790) raved about a simple refuge in the Augarten, which he lovingly called “ma petite maison” (my little house). Today, the world-famous Vienna Boys’ Choir studies and rehearses in a part of the palace with a view of the porcelain factory, symbolizing the connection between culture and craftsmanship.
For a century now, this timeless decoration has enchanted people all over the world - a true masterpiece of aesthetics! The "Vienna Rose" is not just a decoration, but a symbol of elegance and style.
