REFERENCE
For a similar example see 'Hungarian Ceramics from the Zsolnay Manufactory', Csenkey, Eva and Steinert, Agota, pl. 105, pp130. 'At the turn of the Twentieth Century, Zsolnay products exhibited vivid imagination, sensitivity in the adaptation and application of motifs inspired by nature, and the highest quality of execution. They powerfully evoke the many sources of stimulus available in this period to Central European aritsts and intellectuals, and Zsolnay designers, like their European and American counterparts, were influenced by Japanese graphics and decorative arts.' ibid.
