    Rienzi Center for European Decorative Arts, MFAH presents Rienzi's Porcelain Masterpieces.

    Join us for 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. The rise of extraordinary porcelain creations from Meissen, Sèvres, and the Worcester Manufactories was fueled by rivalry and scientific innovation.

    These porcelain masterpieces reveal the ever-rising standards of patrons, the diverse function of wares, and the exquisite skill of Europe´s artists and craftsmen.

    Space is limited, please call for reservations.
