The quality of Pirkenhammer porcelain was so extraordinary that, in the 19th century, the company became an official supplier to the imperial court in Vienna (the Habsburgs).\u003cbr\u003ePirkenhammer won gold medals at almost all of the great world’s fairs of the 19th century (Paris, Vienna, London), competing directly with giants such as Sèvres and Meissen for the purity of its porcelain paste. Pirkenhammer’s production is distinguished by an exceptional stylistic transformation, following—and often anticipating—the tastes of each era. Tableware and tea services were made from translucent, extremely fine white porcelain. The decorations are opulent: broad areas of burnished pure gold polished with agate, miniature portraits painted freehand with millimetric precision, and rich floral motifs.\u003cbr\u003eUnder the artistic direction of avant-garde Bohemian and Viennese masters, Pirkenhammer revolutionized its forms. Vases and cups took on organic, sinuous lines, with handles resembling plant stems. The porcelain pieces decorated with ethereal female figures and enamels in softly blended pastel tones are particularly renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pirkenhammer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231533748557,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/0909\/4810\/files\/IMG_9751.jpg?v=1783427142","url":"https:\/\/dadanovecento.com\/en\/products\/czech-slovak-ceramic-vase-with-handles-and-floral-motifs-from-the-1960s","provider":"DADA Novecento","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
