Teacup with the Lubomirski-Szreniawa coat of arms A teacup from a classicist-style dinnerware set made in the porcelain factory in Vienna circa 1806-1807. The factory was established in 1718 as the second porcelain factory in Europe, after Meissen. It operated until 1864. Breakfast- and dinnerware, as well as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate sets, were the fundamental part of the Viennese factory's production, especially since the fourth quarter of the 18th c. The teacup was acquired by the Łańcut Museum in 1982, together with other pieces from the dinnerware set. The above teacup is cylindrical in shape; it has a rectangular handle and a lid with a gilded handle. It is decorated with a painted Szreniawa coat of arms with the Maltese cross. At the bottom of the teacup, there is the knotted monogram HL painted in black. The pieces acquired by the Museum were part of a dinnerware set which likely belonged to Henryk Lubomirski (1777-1850), the charge of Izabela Lubomirska (1736-1816) - the owner of the Łańcut Castle. Henryk Lubomirski was a Knight of Malta since 1796. Barbara Trojnar
