Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique.

A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece.

The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established. Young designers work on modern shapes and minimalist decoration, while simultaneously continuing the almost 300 year-old tradition.
