    Rienzi Center for European Decorative Arts, MFAH presents a Porcelain Masterpiece Tour, Thursday, September 16, 2010, 2:30 PM.

    A close exploration of the porcelain splendors at Rienzi, this tour introduces visitors to the inspiring development of "white gold" in Europe during the 18th century. Discover the monarchs and vibrant commercial markets that fed the rise of Meissen, Sevres and Worcester´s extraordinary porcelain creations.

    Fueled by rivalry and scientific innovation, the porcelain masterpieces reveal the ever rising standards of patrons, the diverse function of wares, and the exquisite skill of Europe´s modelers, painters, draftsmen, and gilders alike.

    $6 adults, $4 MFAH Members, senior adults (65+), college students with ID, and children (12—18) accompanied by an adult.
