Zsolnay

Zsolnay is one of Hungary’s two most famous porcelain manufactories (the other being Herend), both of which were established in the 19th century and flourished during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Zsolnay-made tiles and decorative objects, all crafted with the company’s signature iridescent glazes, were used in many of the city’s grandest buildings, like the Gresham Palace. While Zsolnay is now not as esteemed as Herend, it offers the better value if you’re going to buy porcelain in Budapest. There are several locations throughout the city.
