In 1938, he began his ceramic career with István Gádor. A later Kossuth prize-winning ceramist, he also considered Margit Kovács as his modern Master. His figures and vessel forms were greatly influenced by folk art. He often shaped animal figures. became a student of the creator of Hungarian industrial ceramics. From 1951 he worked exclusively with ceramic art, and in 1957 he became a member of the Art Fund. His works were exhibited in the Hungarian edition of the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels. The characteristic of his art is the closeness to nature, the admiration of the living world, and the reception, and representation of the impressions of village life. Many of his works are aimed at children, with playful depictions of animals. He donated a large part of his life and work to the directorate of the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county museums.

Some of his works are housed in the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest. __________________________________________________________ In our studio, we curate a captivating collection of unique pieces primarily from the European period spanning the 1930s to the 1970s.
