Popularization note

Small vase from a dinnerware set with a pattern of vine leaves The small vase is part of a dinnerware set made in the porcelain factory in Vienna. The factory was established in 1718 as the second porcelain factory in Europe, after Meissen. It operated until 1864. Breakfast- and dinnerware, as well as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate sets, were the fundamental part of the Viennese factory's production, especially since the fourth quarter of the 18th c. The dinnerware set, part of which was purchased by the Łańcut Museum, was made during the period when the Vienna factory was headed by Mathias Niedermayer (1805-1827). The purchased part of the set consists of nineteen pieces: six semi-deep plates, small vases, two round serving dishes with lids, two square serving dishes, a boat-shaped serving dish, two oval platters, a round bowl, two insert plates. It is a set in the classicist style. It is decorated with a trail of light- and dark-green vine leaves brightened with yellow and with a scattering of such individual leaves. The above vase is semicircular; it has a low stem, a round foot, handles bent at the top ending with leaves at the upper base, and a tent-shaped lid with a handle in the form of a pinecone. Its belly, lid, and foot are decorated with a trail of vine leaves and a scattering of individual leaves. The edges and handles of the vessel are emphasised with gilded stripes; the lid handle is gilded. Barbara Trojnar
