The Manufactory enjoyed a golden age under the management of Conrad Sörgel von Sorgenthal. This “artistic period” of Classicism celebrated the return to straight lines and artistic styles from the Antiquity. Porcelain produced during that time features relief gold decoration, palmettes, and horns of plenty.

The Congress of Vienna helped the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory to earn itself an excellent reputation at home and abroad, and its products became highly-prized possessions in many of Europe’s royal households.
