Zsolnay, Pècs Factory | People | Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

The Zsolnay firm was founded in 1853 by Miklos Zsolnay, and his son Vilmos Zsolnay took over the company's leadership in 1865. It was under Vilmos the Zsolnay began to innovate both the design and technology of its ceramic wares. Combining local tradition with close attention to the stylistic developments in England and France, Zsolnay's production was unique in its period. Vilmos' experimentation included reinterpretation of historical forms, including those with references to the Far Eastern origins of luster ware.

We have 2 objects that Zsolnay, Pècs Factory has been involved with.

An earthenware pitcher with a squat bulbous gourd-like form with a large leaf-shaped spout and handle in the form of a gathered root or vine. The pitcher has an eosin-reduced glaze, creating freeform, non-figural color patterns on its sinuous ceramic body in a vibrant green and gold iridescent luster finish.
