HOLLOHAZA PORCELAIN 14cm MODEL OF A TREE CREEPER (Original Box)
(Hollóháza porcelain is produced by the Porcelain Manufactory of Hollohaza Hungary. The manufactory was founded in 1777, originally as glassworks. It is one of the oldest remaining, now state-owned porcelain manufactury in Hungary.
Hollohazi porcelain is one of the oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe and it is the oldest in Hungary, dating back to 1777. The factory just recently celebrated its 240th year in business, still on the original site in rural Northeastern Hungary amid lush forests and rolling hills. In the beginning, they only made rudimentary, although visually appealing glass cups, bottles and dishes. At the dawn of the 19th century, the glass industry has flourished. However, the main transport routes and the raw materials needed to manufacture glass were far from the factory site. So, the owner of the factory, Karolyi decided to turn it into a ceramic manufactory in 1831, using the kaolin clay found nearby.)
