Zsolnay fountain, Decorative water well at Zsolnay Square, Pécs, Hungary.
The Zsolnay Fountain features animal-head waterspouts and stands as a central structure made from eosin-glazed ceramics in shimmering metallic colors.
Miklós Zsolnay presented this fountain to the city in 1913, fulfilling his father Vilmos Zsolnay's promise to donate a fountain near the city hall.
The fountain incorporates traditional Hungarian design elements and showcases the renowned Zsolnay ceramics manufacturing techniques developed in the late 19th century.
Located in the center of Pécs, the fountain serves as a meeting point for visitors and provides water through its multiple animal-shaped spouts.
The fountain's surface displays the specific eosin glaze technique, which creates an iridescent effect that changes color depending on light conditions.
