COFFEE SET. PORCELAIN. ROYAL VIENNA, AUSTRIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY.

Coffee set. Glazed porcelain. Royal Vienna, Austria, early 20th century. With marks on the base of pieces. Two broken cups. Enamelled porcelain coffee set consisting of a tray, six cups with their saucers, a sugar bowl with a lid and a jug with a lid. Although the classicist influence on the piece is clear (golden garlands, shapes, plant elements, colors, etc.), it is necessary to indicate the inspiration for the tray in the oil painting by George Sheridan Knowles painted in 1908 and entitled "Summer Pleasures on The River". Royal Vienna is known as a certain style of porcelain related to the porcelain made in Vienna (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) founded in 1718 by Claude du Paquier, official of the imperial court of Vienna. It was closed in 1864, but its name was recovered by the Augarten Vienna Porcelain Factory in 1923.
