Fired By Passion : Viennese Baroque Porcelain Of Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier

Du Paquier, an independently-operating Viennese porcelain factory, was established in 1718, only eight years after Meissen. Although its heyday was brief, lasting only twenty-five years, Du Paquier produced porcelain of great beauty, notable for a graceful style and sophisticated execution.
In three sumptuously illustrated volumes, scholars of international standing present the style and the history of Du Paquier porcelain in the context of Baroque Vienna.
The first comprehensive publication on this important porcelain factory, this work has been made possible through a five-year research programme conducted by the Melinda and Paul Sullivan Foundation for the Decorative Arts. The objects shown, many of them for the first time here, are in major public and private collections.
