Marked underside with blue bindenschild Royal Vienna porcelain mark (there are no other marks present). A Brief History of Royal Vienna. Once upon a time two workers from the Meissen factory in Germany took the “recipe” for Chinese hard-paste porcelain with them when they headed for Vienna in the early 1700s. This sneaky duo shared the porcelain secret with Claude Innocentius Du Paquier and he began utilizing it in 1717 to make porcelain comparable to that of his German neighbors. By 1744, Paquier ran into financial trouble and sold his porcelain manufacturing business to the royal family in Austria. Paquier’s early wares were unmarked, but when the Royal family took over, they began marking the porcelain with the shield mark, now known as the aforementioned beehive mark. The Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Vienna became the most important porcelain manufacturer in the area and continued to make fine hand-decorated porcelain wares until second half of 19 century. I found no significant condition issues with this chocolate pot, but signs of previous use and ownership should be expected consistent with its vintage timeline and should be taken into consideration with age and ownership.' Please note: I will accept any reasonable offer. Please check out all pictures and thank you for watching.
