Augarten Porcelain Dinnerware Dish Heart Shaped 7×7 Cm Small Scattered Corn Flowers

Europe’s second-oldest porcelain manufactory, Augarten was founded in 1718 upon a daring mission to bring the secret of porcelain making to Vienna, Austria. This historic company continues its tradition as a distinguished Imperial-owned manufactory while celebrating innovative ideas and modern trends. All major design eras are represented within the archives, offering something for every collector of fine porcelain.

The love of cornflower decorations on porcelain dates from the second half of the 18th century. Marie-Antoinette had a service with a decoration of scattered cornflowers designed for her retreat, the Petit Trianon, in 1781. As table decorations, the queen ordered cornflowers made of silk. The wild field flowers with their brilliant blue also became a coveted motif in Vienna, adorning the state services of diplomats as well as personal coffee cups. Last but not least, the floral language of the Biedermeier period chose the cornflower as the bearer of luck and prosperity.

Take Care

• The old question “dishwasher yes or no” depends a little bit on whether it is a newer piece or a service that has already become outdated. In principle, there is nothing wrong with cleaning in the dishwasher, as long as it does not happen daily, the short program is used and no cleaning tabs but powders are used. Otherwise, the décor could fade with time.
