Michael Powolny (1871 – 1954)

Austrian artist Michael Powolny was an important exponent of ceramic and glass art. He designed product series and individual decorative items and, in 1906, founded his own workshop. He was born in 1871, in the Austrian city of Judenburg. From 1891 to 1894, he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Znaim and, seven years later, went to the School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna. In 1906, he founded the Wiener Keramik together with Bertold Löffler, which was taken over one year later by the famous Vienna Workshop. (nlu)
