Hollóháza Porcelain Manufactory

Hollóháza Porcelain Manufactory is a production facility making tableware, decorative objects, and hand-painted works. The building showcases the different stages of the production process from molding to firing and painting.

The site began in 1777 as a glassworks but was transformed in 1831 when local clay sources were discovered and used for ceramic production. This shift allowed large-scale porcelain manufacturing to begin here.

The name reflects the artisans who worked here, and the workshops display how painters apply designs by hand to each piece. The spaces themselves tell this story through artist stations and finished works, showing how styles have evolved over time.

Visitors can view the workshops and join classes to shape their own porcelain pieces. A shop on site sells finished works directly, so you can purchase or browse items without advance booking.

After the Second World War, the facility produced electrical insulators and other industrial ceramics between 1948 and 1957. These years of transition show how adaptable the business was and how it eventually returned to artistic production.
