Augarten porcelain

Augarten porcelain

The Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten (porcelain manufactory Augarten) is named after the palais and park where it is located. Dating back to a privilege given by the emperor to Claudius Innocentius du Paquier in 1718, it is, after Meissen porcelain, Europe's second eldest producer of hard-paste porcelain. Since 1744, Augarten pieces bear the shield from the coat of arms of the Dukes of Austria as a trademark. [ [http://www.augarten.at/en/history/1744-1748-rococo/ Official webpage] ]
