What makes it special?

• The glaze shifts color in light: it can appear green, gold, burgundy, purple, or blue.

• The name comes from the Greek word eos (dawn), evoking its radiant glow.

• It is made using a secret technique, known only to a select few.

Zsolnay and Modern Design

Although Zsolnay is often associated with historic and Art Nouveau styles, the Eosin glaze continued to evolve as a modern design icon.

• During the 1960s and 1970s, Zsolnay artists introduced bold new shapes and color palettes while retaining the elegance of Eosin.

• Designers embraced geometric, abstract, and organic forms, combining artistic experimentation with tradition.
