Frequently Asked Questions
How can I identify authentic Herend or Zsolnay pieces?
Authentic pieces typically feature manufacturer marks on the bottom. Herend pieces are marked with "Herend" and often include pattern names and artist signatures. Zsolnay items bear the "Zsolnay" mark and may include production dates. For valuable pieces, consider consulting with accredited appraisers or museum curators specializing in Hungarian ceramics.
Where can I view Hungarian porcelain collections in person?
The Hungarian National Museum in Budapest houses significant collections. The Herend Museum in Herend and the Zsolnay Museum in Pécs offer comprehensive displays of their respective manufacturers' work. Many international museums also feature Hungarian porcelain in their decorative arts collections.
