Is Zsolnay worth anything?
1 Answer

Yes, some Zsolnay is worth something. The Hungarian maker is particularly well known for its shimmering eosin iridescent glaze, which it introduced in 1893. Pieces featuring the technique, especially those done in the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century, are particularly popular among collectors. However, how much a piece may be worth always depends on its type, style, age, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the valuation process for any pieces you own. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Zsolnay porcelain wares.

Symbolist Cat

"It is easy to understand why the rabble dislike cats. A cat is beautiful; it suggests ideas of luxury, cleanliness, and voluptuous pleasures." - Charles Baudelaire
Iridescence, which changes in every angle of reflected light, is the perfect complement to a cat’s capricious nature. Zsolnay introduced its patented shiny metallic glaze, known as eosin, in 1893.

Zsolnay walked away with the Grand Prix at the 1878 World’s Fair in Paris for its art pottery. Under the stewardship of Vilmos Zsolnay...
