Pair of Zsolnay Decorative Ceramic Figurative Dishes with Eosin Glaze
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.
