Maria Theresia Hand-Painted Porcelain Shallow Tureen

Details

When Augarten unveiled this pattern in 1750, it was a moment of true innovation. It was created for a table service that Empress Maria Theresia obtained to decorate an Imperial hunting lodge hence the combination of black brush drawings and hunting green paint. Today, we see how wonderfully this commission has aged. Each detail remains on this porcelain shallow tureen, from the delicate hand-painting to the gold rim.
