Art Nouveau
The development of Zsolnay's Eosin glaze came in 1893, at a time when Art Nouveau was taking over the world. Eosin glaze was applied to fantastic sculptural porcelain pieces, depicting mythological subjects, animals and women. Artists such as Lajos Mack created some of the timeless Art Nouveau and Hungarian Secession style designs that are being brought back to life again in our manufacture in Pécs.
