Bio:
Zsolnay was founded in 1853 in Pécs, Hungary, by Miklós Zsolnay and was later elevated to international prominence by his son Vilmos Zsolnay (1828–1900). The factory is especially renowned for its iridescent eosin glaze, introduced in 1893, as well as pirogranite, a frost-resistant ceramic material used for architectural ornamentation. Zsolnay became a hallmark of European Art Nouveau and later Modernism, and the factory remains in operation in Pécs today.
