Zsolnay Ceramics

Zsolnay ceramic art from Hungary displayed in over 400 color photographs from 1868 to the present with their marks.

Zsolnay ceramic art from Hungary, featuring over 400 color photographs, covers the three main periods of Zsolnay production:

1868 to 1897--Folklorism, Historicism, Victorian Eclecticism, 1897 to 1920--Art Nouveau and Art Deco,
1920 to the present--Modernism.

An entire chapter is devoted to Zsolnay marks to help identify the pieces. There are almost 11,000 different forms of domestic Zsolnay art works; 700 were issued in 1900 alone, and there are many undocumented forms imported in England and America.

Along with the charming miniature, green-glazed, multi-figural series that Zsolnay is most identified with today, there is a wealth of earlier pieces to be found. A value range is given for each item in the book.
