Inspired by a cherished tradition dating back to the late 18th century, this timeless motif gained royal favour when Queen Marie Antoinette adorned her retreat, the Petit Trianon, with scattered cornflowers in 1781. Over time, the vibrant blue of these wild field flowers captivated Vienna, gracing the tableware of diplomats and personal coffee cups alike. Symbolising luck and prosperity during the Biedermeier period, the cornflower held deep significance in the floral language of the era. Characterised by its timeless silhouettes and delicate ornamental flourishes, the Cornflower collection continues to epitomise the elegance of Viennese porcelain, carrying on a legacy of sophistication and refinement. -DETAILS- Dimensions: Ø 28cm Materials: Porcelain, 24 Karat Gold Brand: Augarten Wien 1718 Need to know: Handcrafted in Vienna.
