Description
    Carpets were not the only items adapted for European consumers. From the 17th century, the early European porcelains competed with their Chinese archetypes imported by the East India Companies. Over the course of the 18th century, porcelain tableware became established at the imperial court. In 1718, the court war agent Claudius Innocentius du Paquier founded the first Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur [Vienna Porcelain Manufactory] with the imperial privilege awarded to it by Emperor Karl VI and with porcelain workers and painters lured from Meissen. The production of complete porcelain table sets began in Vienna as early as the 1720s. One of the earliest services, the so-called “Jagdservice“ [hunting service], was probably manufactured for Emperor Karl VI or the Prince of Liechtenstein. Like the “Savonnerie Paravent Panels,“ it features naturalistic animal representations. (Franz, Rainald)
