WIENER WERKSTATTE CERAMICS The ceramics production of the Wiener Werkstätte may be divided into three periods: period 1: 1903 - 1917 No production of its own. Sale of two groups of ceramics: A) Commission goods: ceramics designed and produced outside of the Wiener Werkstätte B) Sale of ceramics produced outside of the Wiener Werkstätte according to designs created by members of the Wiener Werkstätte. period 2: 1917 -1920 The beginning of its own ceramic production, probably in 1917 - sale of the following groups of ceramics: A) Ceramics produced outside of the Wiener Werkstätte a) also designed outside the Wiener Werkstätte, (s. 1 A) b) after Wiener Werkstätte designs (s. 1 B) B) Ceramics originating in the Wiener Werkstätte a) production-ware b) original, one-of-a-kind work period 3: 1920 - 1931 From the Wiener Werkstätte’s own method of distinguishing its production: A) “Keramik” = production-ware executed in the Wiener Werkstätte itself B) “Keramik Extern” (also “Ke-Keramik”) = produced outside of the Wiener Werkstätte, partially however, created according to Wiener Werkstätte designs. C) “Keramik Original” (also “Ko-Originale”, “Ko-Keramik”, or “Originalke ramik”) = primarily ceramics produced in the Wiener Werkstätte itself, which were in all probability unique in character, as they were produced as single pieces; in certain cases, Commission goods also feil into this category. ad 1)1903-1917 Among the Commission goods (1 A) may be counted the works of “Wiener Keramik” (founded in 1905 by Michael Powolny and Berthold Löffler) in addition to those by Eduard Klablena, Hugo F. Kirsch, Julie Sitte, Ida Schwetzand others. As to those ceramics not executed in the Wiener Werkstätte but designed by its artists (1 B) we find, for example, the designs of Josef Hoffmann and Dagobert Peche, which were executed, eitheron Commission through the “Wiener Porzellan-Manufaktur Josef Bock” (esp. at Pfeiffer & Löwenstein in Schlackenwerth) or through the “Vereinigte Wiener und Gmundner Keramik” in addition to being produced in Bohemian porcelain factories (e.g., in that of B. Bloch in Eichwald). ad 2)1917-1920 Based on the estate of the Wiener Werkstätte in the Austrian Museum, it may be assumed, that the Werkstätte probably began producing its own ceramics in about 1917. These ceramics were numbered (beginning with no. 1). Sketches of the ceramics executed are contained in those volumes taken from the Wiener Werkstätte estate, which also indicate the particulars as to the method of execution and usually the name of the artist. All ceramics, executed but a single time (and probably without a mould) were designated as “Original” (one-of-a-kind); an itemized list ofthe “Originalkeramik” however, (as that contained in a separate “KO” book as of 1920) did not yet exist. It does occur, that in individual cases designs originally destined for production-ware were actually produced only once. 21
