A comprehensive index will then contain the names of all artists, along with all ceramic 
designs (unless otherwise indicated, forpurposes ofthis publication,theterm ceramic 
artists” refers to both men and women). 
That our museum fans are prepared to cooperate above and beyond the call of duty has 
been proven many times over, most recently in our exhibition “Viennese Porcelain, 
Genuine or Fake?” (1976/1977). I would therefore like to request all employeesfrom the 
Wiener Werkstätte and all those people who are the owners of ceramic objects 
manufactured by the Wiener Werkstätte, to contact me. As interest in the topic “Wiener 
Werkstätte” is on the increase, and rightfully so, it is with profound pleasure as well as a 
sense of Obligation that I acceed to the many wishes expressed to me to publish more 
extensively in those areas entrusted to me.
