AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and superb lot of 2 sculptures, Goose + Duck flapping its wings, the beaks are gilded
They are in superb condition with no break or loss
Dimensions of the Goose: Height 16 cm, Length 6.50 cm, Width 5 cm
--------- The Hungarian factory Hollohaza was founded in 1777 as a glassworks. This factory located in the northeast of Hungary belonged in 1831 to Count Mihály Károlyi. He decided to make it a ceramic manufactory.
The true development of the company took place in 1857. Ferenc Istvany made it a real manufactory, but continued to produce decorated porcelain in a popular style for ordinary people. Production was halted because of World War I and resumed in 1923.
In 1939, the factory was taken over by Karoly Szakmary. He decided to modernize technically the fabrication as well as the design of porcelain products.
In 1948, the factory was nationalized by the new communist government. For a few years, Hollohazi Porcelain produced only porcelain industrial insulators. New artistic pieces appeared only in 1957.
In 1972, a completely new factory was built. The number of employees rose from 300 to over a thousand.
