During World War II, the Zsolnay factory begiun in 1853 in Budapest was bombed and later nationalized under communism and relegated to producing common tableware goods. In 1982 the company regained operational independence and reinstated the Zsolnay name. In 2012, a Swiss-Syrian businessman, Bachar Najari, bought the company from the city of Pécs. Zsolnay is renown for its secret eosin glaze that makes porcelain appear iridescent metallic and changing color in different light.
