Pécs
The HMA MPDC Hungarian Museum of Architecture safeguards an eosin-glazed animal-head waterspout that is not just a product of the Zsolnay factory, but was a part of the fountain erected in Pécs in memory of Vilmos Zsolnay. The first international success of the ceramics manufacturer from Pécs, Vilmos Zsolnay, came from the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair. His trip to London with Ödön Lechner to collect artworks resulted in a relationship as friends and collaborators that even today ties his name to the Hungarian Art Nouveau movement. The high quality and unmatched beauty of the Zsolnay Factory’s ceramics became world renowned through the 1896 Millennial Exhibition and then the 1900 Paris World’s Fair. Not only Hungarian artists worked together with him, but also well-known foreign architects such as Otto Wagner and Joseph Maria Olbrich.
One of the most extraordinary products of his work was the eosin ceramic glaze. The composition of this product that originated in Italy was long unknown to scientists. However, the chemist Vince Wartha together with Vilmos Zsolnay succeeded in determining the composition of the material at the beginning of the 1890s, and thus were able to work out the procedure to employ it in art.
Vilmos Zsolnay made a pledge to Pécs a few years before his death that he would donate a memorial fountain decorated with eosin-glazed ceramics to be located in front of the city hall that was under construction. After his death, his son Miklós made every effort to fulfill his father’s promise. In 1909, Andor Pilch began preparing the designs for the fountain under the direction of Miklós and with the support of the Parks Department of the Mecsek Association. This outstanding architect of Art Nouveau in Pécs completed the plans by 1911, which were accompanied by a color design by Géza Nikelszky, while the town councilors tried to find a site for the fountain. At first, they planned two smaller fountains for the area in front of the city hall, but they did not fit in with the designated site. They tested out a larger fountain by erecting a wooden model of it, but it would have blocked the view of the entrance. Széchenyi Square, which was in line to be remodeled, became the choice for its location, but the work had not yet begun, so the erection of the fountain was also delayed.
Miklós Zsolnay handed over the completed fountain to the city in 1913, although at that time it was not in its final location. The fountain made from more than 60 parts was first placed in the city hall’s medical office according to the local newspapers, and later they succeeded in hiding it in the basement of the vintners’ school on Ágoston Square when the First World War broke out. In 1923, just five years after the war and one year after the death of Miklós Zsolnay, it was discovered amongst thick cobwebs, packed in moldy straw and paper. Since the work on Széchenyi Square was just beginning at this time, the city decided to hold a ceremony for the erection of the fountain. However, in the end, it was not until May of 1930 when it was placed in the square in front of the church of the Brothers Hospitallers, which since 2003 has been known as Zsolnay Square.
The decoration of the Zsolnay Fountain fits in well with the artistic program from the Hungarian pavilion of the 1911 Turin World’s Fair, which was referred to as “The Palace of Attila.” The fountain is a structure made by chiseled carving of Haraszt limestone with four water basins and four eosin-glazed animal heads above which there is the crest of the city of Pécs on the northern and southern sides and the five-towered emblem (Quinque Ecclesiae) of the Zsolnay Factory on the eastern and western sides with eosin-glazed rosettes. An inscription on the edge of the fountain in runic script reads, “May the memorial fountain of Vilmos Zsolnay forever be a witness to the flourishing of the city of Pécs and the happiness of its inhabitants.”
The animal-head waterspouts may have been inspired by the bull’s-head drinking bowl that is part of the Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós discovered in 1799. This motif has appeared in the works of numerous artists, including the Blood Oath fresco by Bertalan Székely made for the city hall of Kecskemét, the funeral bier of Mihály Munkácsy, the tomb of Ferenc Pulszky, and the pyrogranite roof elements on the Budapest Postal Savings Bank. The find has had a great influence on artists seeking a Hungarian national artistic vocabulary. They considered it to be the chalice of Attila the Hun, but since then archaeologists have instead linked it to the Avars. Rather than being a bull, it appeared to the artists to be an ox, which has much stronger ties to Hungarian folk art. As a consequence, Alajos Stróbl referred to it as an ox head in his works.
A point of interest is that the drinking bowl continued to be a recurring motif. It appears on the funeral parlor in Debrecen built in 1932 according to the designs of József Borsos, the drinking fountain of the Hungária Spring in the Tabán district of Budapest (1934), and the “Drinking Bowl Paraphrase” public sculpture on Boráros Square that was a 1983 work of the sculptor Imre Varga. This sculpture makes reference to János Boráros, who the square is named after and who had the treasure shipped to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
The Zsolnay Fountain in Pécs has been restored several times, first in the 1980s and most recently in 2000, on the 100th anniversary of the death of Vilmos Zsolnay. According to the report of the silicate restoration expert Klára Csáki, “Of the gres glazed fountain elements, the four water basins and the fountain base decorated with eosin inlays as well as the surfaces of the eosin-glazed bull’s-head waterspouts had become encrusted with limescale and the pointing between the elements had fallen out.” In the end, the client decided to have the waterspouts remanufactured. The original elements were placed for safekeeping at the Zsolnay Factory, the Zsolnay Museum in Pécs, and the Pécs municipal government. The fourth one landed up at the Pécs office of the former National Historic Preservation Agency. From there, the historic property supervisor Henriette Levárdy handed it over to the Hungarian Museum of Architecture that was run by the agency at that time.

As younger adults, millennial’s often fall into the mindset that plagued older generations in early adulthood. It is common for young adults to live frivolously with the general mentality that there is plenty of time later in life for saving and investing. This mentality can unfortunately prevent you from achieving financial security earlier in life. In addition, it can even lead to the development of bad money management habits that ultimately impact you for the next several decades or longer. These important finance tips are essential for millennial’s who are eager to improve money management.
Prepare an Accurate Budget:
A personal budget is the quintessential financial management tool. You may be aware that a budget shows all income sources and all expenses for a specific time period, and this time period is usually a month. However, many people create a budget and do not look at it again for months. To be truly effective, you must use your budget regularly to track spending, to make financial decisions and more. Your budget should regularly be compared against actually spending and income so that you always know where you are financially. You cannot realistically know if you can afford to buy that new shirt online or enjoy a meal out at a restaurant with friends if you do not use some type of accurate budgeting strategy.
Create Thoughtful Financial Goals:
Everyone has financial goals, but many young adults have not formalized long-term or short-term goals. They simply think that someday they would like to take an amazing vacation overseas and buy a house or a condo. The reality is that very few people will achieve major goals related to finances without planning and making regular progress to achieve those goals. Write down all short-term and long-term goals. Research an accurate amount of money needed to achieve those goals. In addition, assign a timeline to those goals. This will help you to determine how much money you need to save on a regular basis to achieve your goal within the specified timeline.
Save Regularly:
There are multiple reasons why you should save money regularly. First, every adult regardless of age should have an emergency savings account. This account should have at least the equivalent of your expenses for three months. This should be a starting goal, and over time, you may wish to increase the balance in your account to the equivalent of six or even 12 months of expenses. You also need to save regularly to achieve the financial goals that you have established. A portion of your funds should also be saved for retirement. It may seem too soon to worry about retirement, but millennial’s who start saving for retirement sooner can more easily achieve their goals. More than that, they may even be able to retire many years sooner. Your budget should be updated to reflect savings for all of these goals.
Properly managing your money is not difficult to do. You simply need to develop smart habits and pay regular attention to your budget and financial goals. These tips will get you well on your way to improving your money management efforts.
