Description

By Samuel Wittwer, with contributions by Sarah Louise Galbraith, Claudia Lehner-Jobst, Anne Perrin Khelissa, Tamara Préaud, Arnulf Siebeneicker, Eva Wollschläger. Published in conjunction with the exhibition Royal Porcelain from the Twinight Collection, 1800–1850 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, September 16, 2008–August 9, 2009.

The porcelain factories of Berlin, Sèvres, and Vienna achieved a remarkable level of both artistic and technical skill in the first half of the ninteenth century, and the quality of painted decoration practiced at these three factories at that time has not been surpassed. This catalogue brings together a number of extraordinary pieces produced by these three European porcelain manufactories, which exemplify the intensive technical, personal, and artistic cross-relations of European porcelain at that time. All the pieces included here are now in the Twinight Collection in New York—one of these most impressive collections of its kind in the world. This catalogue also compares these manufactories to show both the rivalry and the exchange of ideas and styles between the factories that resulted in some of the most remarkable porcelain ever produced.

488 pages, 530 full-color illustrations. 9 1/2'' x 12 1/4''. Hardcover.
