EXPOSITION AT VIENNA.
He discovered the method of making white porcelain in 1709,
and ke was appointed Director of the Meissen works in 1710.
Five years later, white porcelain of excellent qnality was
commonly made,and in 1720, under the direction of Horoldt,
excellent paintings with gilding were produced. . Groups 1
and figures were modelled in 1731, and, in the succeeding
twenty-five years, the productions attained their greatest
perfection. The varied productions of the establishment
at the present time were conspicuously displayed upon
the crimson-covered canopied stand in the main transept,
adjoining the rotunda. They consisted chiefly of the filier
sorts of vases and decorated wäre, and fully sustained
the high reputation of the works. The productions, how-
ever, include ordinary dinner-services and wäre for domestic
use, much of it decorated in cobalt blue, and artificial
ultra-marine; colored enamels, and other materials for the
production of porcelain. About 600 workmen are employed,
and the value of the product annually is about 400,000 tha-
lers (in 1871, 370,000 thalers). The market is chiefly abroad.
For the blue decorated dinner-services there is a great de-
mand, so that the works are two years in arrears of the
Orders.
