SAVARIA AVAS MEGYEI MÚZEUMOK ÉRTESÍTŐJE, 30 Szombathely, 2006 MŰTÁRGYAK A KŐSZEGI KŐEDÉNYGYÁRBÓL 1 DABÓCZI Dénes Nádasdy Ferenc Múzeum H-9600 Sárvár, Várkerület 1., Hungary E-mail: muzeum.sarvar@mail.globonet.hu WORKS FROM THE KŐSZEG CREAMWARE FACTORIES Two successive creamware (Steingut) factories set up in Kőszeg operated with varying intensity from 1837 to 1854, but little marked Kőszeg ware has survived in Hungarian collections. Pieces found so far have been identified by the marks "Giins", "Gins", "Kőszeg" and "Kőszeg FW" Nine pieces from the old Kőszeg Creamware Factory are found in the applied arts collection at the Ferenc Nádasdy Museum, Sárvár. The study describes these and attempts to date them. The old borders of Hungary contained no fewer than 44 potteries making Steingut in the 19th century. Both the Kőszeg factories employed only a few men using hand methods, so that productivity was not high. The first was founded in 1837 by Ágoston Weimann (b. 1808 in Berlin, d. I860 in Kőszeg), who had worked in the Pápa creamware factory. His factory was well equipped and probably made useful ware in the main, for town citizens and local nobility. This operated for under two years before closing in the autumn of 1838 due to Weimann's personal, family and financial problems. The second factory was registered by Kőszeg Council on February 22, 1839 and operated until 1854. The founder was Ferenc Wanke fr, who also arrived from Pápa. His was a family of potters: his father, Franz Wanke, worked in Prague in 1790 and then, before appearing at the Pápa factory in the 1820s. Wanke Jr learnt his trade in Bohemia and Papa. His Kőszeg factory was similar in size to Weimann's. The pieces described here have unknown provenance, but probably came to the museum from the Kőszeg district. They fall into two groups. Nos. 1 and 2 (Figures 1 and 2) are coloured dessert plates with relief decoration. No. 2 shows a strong similarity to a plate from Pápa in the museums collection (Figure 10), especially the coloured, ribbed, marbled ledge. Although the two have different well decoration, they can be assumed to come from the same factory, especially as the influence of Pápa on the two Kőszeg factories can be clearly shown. The rest of the material is in the Wiener Ranfil pattern of underglaze blue painting on unpainted white. The other pieces are also made of the same material, except for No. 3, the helmet pitcher 1.
