FAQs

Royal Vienna porcelain originates from the second oldest hard-paste porcelain manufactory in Europe, established in Vienna in 1718. The classic period spans the Imperial era, while many pieces collected today date from the 19th-century revival period.

These figurines are crafted from hard-paste ceramic, shaped through intricate moulds, and hand-painted with polychrome enamel colours, frequently accented with hand-applied gilding before undergoing high-temperature kiln firing.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the underside for underglaze factory marks, such as the shield or beehive mark, along with incised numbers, artist ciphers, and the weight, translucency, and hand-painted detailing of the ceramic body.

These decorative objects can be displayed on a mantelpiece, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound books to add a touch of historical narrative and classic craftsmanship to a room.

Care involves dusting gently with a soft, dry brush and occasionally wiping with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth if necessary. Harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, and immersion in water should be strictly avoided to protect the glaze and delicate gilding.
