Innere Stadt
Glass and lighting maker founded in Vienna in 1823. Its mouth-blown crystal is cut, engraved and polished by hand; it still makes glasses designed with Josef Hoffmann and Adolf Loos, and builds its chandeliers in central Vienna.

City-centre flagship of Augarten, the porcelain manufactory re-founded in 1923 in the Augarten palace to continue Vienna's porcelain works begun in 1718 (closed 1864). The porcelain is still made by hand in the palace workshop.
