About the Item

Pair of Hungarian Zsolnay hand painted decorative ceramic figurative sculpture dishes with Eosin glaze. Woman scooping water with a vase or urn is circa 1925 and measures 6.5 inches deep X 5.63 wide X 4 high. The woman holding a clam shell is circa 1960 Mid-Century Modern and measures 5.75 inches deep X 5 wide X 5 high. Many Zsolnay ceramics are noted for the use of the eosin process that was introduced in 1893. The process results in a light red iridescence of the first prepared hue, hence the term eosin (Greek eos, flush of dawn). Different eosin colors and processes were developed over time. The eosin-based iridescence became a favorite of Art Nouveau and Jugendstil artists, among them Sándor Apáti Abt, Lajos Mack, Géza Nikelszky, and József Rippl-Rónai. The secret eosin glaze renders porcelain to appear iridescent metallic, in different colors that change with the angle of reflection. Typical colors include shades of green, red, blue, and purple.
