The establishment of the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts in 1867 by the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry laid the foundation for a system of trade schools in the Habsburg Empire’s centers of craftsmanship that was intended to support local arts industries both by providing teachers trained in Vienna and by showing inter-national-caliber models held by the museum in so-called traveling exhibitions. In keeping with this intent, the period around 1900 saw the Trade School in the Moravian town of Znojmo, in existence since 1872, develop into a place of training oriented on the international Art Nouveau style, complete with its own collection of up-to-date models. These experimental stoneware works in that period’s new, biomorphic forms were exhibited in 1901 at the museum’s trade school exhibition. Both formally and in terms of the glaze used, they are thoroughly in step with their times. (Franz, Rainald)
