The term Royal Vienna refers to the style of porcelain painting that became very popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There was no single manufacturer called Royal Vienna. Instead, there were dozens of big and small porcelain decorators throughout Germany and Austria who acquired blank plates from Hutschenreuther, KPM, Rosenthal, and other porcelain manufacturers, and had all the necessary resources and equipment to paint, gild, glaze and fire these plates creating some absolutely amazing works of art. Antique and vintage porcelain table ware and collectibles.
