Shortly after it closed, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory’s artistic legacy passed into the holdings of the Museum of Art and Industry (today’s MAK), and this material is also viewed internationally as an outstanding collection of ceramic works. Nearly all Viennese porcelain items owned by the MAK are on exhibit in the Study Collection, where they provide an overview of Vienna’s nearly 150-year porcelain-manufacturing history.
As part of the scholarly preparation for the exhibition which the MAK is planning for 2018 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory’s establishment, the first part of these holdings, “Viennese Porcelain,” which encompasses the Du Paquier period (1718–1744), is to go online in 2013.
