| Zsolnay Pottery 1853 - Present (Hungary) Vilmos Zsolnay, an innovator in the pottery industry during the late 1800s, developed a number of techniques unique to his company’s wares. One of his most noteworthy achievements yielded Eosin glaze, first used in 1893. This iridescent glaze imparts the decorative qualities of painted porcelain, but allows a much richer use of color consistent with pottery manufacture. Zsolnay pottery decorated with Eosin glaze has been mistaken for glass, or even metal, at first glance. Products are still being made at the Zsolnay factory using this exclusive technique, and its luster has inspired collections of both old and new pieces worldwide. Explore all Zsolnay pottery here. |
