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

    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 the extraordinary porcelain creations of Meissen, Sèvres, and Worcester.

    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.
