A stunning eosin snail figurine from the renowned Zsolnay Pécs Hungary Porcelain Manufacture. The eosin process that was introduced in 1893 is a special technique by which the eosin glaze renders porcelain to appear iridescent metallic, in different colors that change with the angle of reflection. Typical colors include shades of green, red, blue, and purple. This piece has mainly green and golden colours. Similar to quality items made by Herend and Royal Dux.

It is in PERFECT condition with NO chips, cracks, scratches, crazing or repairs.

The figurine measures approx. 7 cm (2.8”) high x 12 cm (4.7”) long x 6 cm (2.4”) wide. On the bottom it is marked as “ZSOLNAY HUNGARY 1853 PÉCS HAND-PAINTED”.
