Masterpieces in Porcelain: An Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Augarten Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna

A private tour of the Augarten Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna, Europe’s second-oldest porcelain factory, is an exceptional experience for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship. Join me for a fascinating glimpse into the intricate and precise process behind the creation of the renowned “white gold". 

Details of the Private Guided Manufactory Tour: 

To begin, I will introduce you to the eventful history of the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory Augarten, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship since 1718. Afterwards, we will explore the manufactory together and experience how this tradition remains alive to this day.

During this approximately one-hour private manufactory tour, you’ll witness the remarkable artistry embedded in each piece of Augarten porcelain. From mold-making and throwing to casting, firing and hand-painting, every stage of the meticulous production process is demonstrated and explained up close.

You’ll discover what a “Pomse” is and the unique role of a “Bossierer” in the manufacturing process. Additionally, you’ll see a historic kiln, over 100 years old, preserved as a striking testament to the past.

I look forward to sharing the history and art of porcelain-making with you on this special tour. Be captivated by the elegance of this craft as we dive into the exquisite world of Vienna’s Augarten Porcelain Manufactory together.
