Footnote
Literature: Csenkey E. Hungarian Ceramics From the Zsolnay Manufactory 1853–2001 – From Historicism to Postmodernism, Yale University Press 2002, p.124, pl.93a-c where similar examples are illustrated.
Note: The Zsolnay factory rose to prominence after the 1867 formation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ended political unrest in Hungary. Austrian design had a strong impact on the factory and its ‘eosin’ lustre glaze, developed in the 1870s, provides the curving outlines of its wares with a sensual metallic sheen.
