Going far beyond the borders of Austria-Hungary, Zsolnay&#8217;s fame attracted many visitors to P\u00e9cs fascinated by the mastery of the products made there. One of them was the Polish engineer and architect Tadeusz (T\u00e1d\u00e9) Sikorski. When led by professional interest &#8211; he managed the school of ceramics in Kolomyia, he visited P\u00e9cs in 1882. He probably did not think how this visit would affect his later fate. Not only did he make friends with the family of famous manufacturers, but in time he also married the daughter of the owners, J\u00falia Zsolnay. He quickly joined the work in the factory, where he was the artistic director for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_8f8b6a4bcb8af654584c7cac60ced21c\">\n    <div id=\"Album\">\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"our_series\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-5 col-xl-5 col-lg-5 col-md-5 col-sm-12 photo_report_img\">\n                        <h3 class=\"no_desk photo_headinng\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/T265725.jpg\" class=\"img_shadow img_all\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-7 col-xl-7 col-lg-7 col-md-7 col-sm-12 photo_report\">\n\n                        <h3 class=\"no_mob\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <div class=\"photo_text\">\n                            Zsolnay.

His works are proof of creativity and artistic imagination &#8211; which is reminded by a fanciful series of objects designed together with his wife Julia, inspired by the form of a lotus flower. Sikorski, who drew inspiration from various sources, was far from simple copying &#8211; he shaped his designs with great inventiveness, which is perfectly illustrated by, for example, objects referring to pre-Columbian culture. It is also possible that inspired by the collection of the engineer and traveler W\u0142adys\u0142aw Klug, known to him, part of which can be seen today at the Krakow Archaeological Museum. Sikorski&#8217;s diverse legacy is not only proof of his artistic talent, but also reminds of the Polish contribution to the phenomenon of the famous manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2_T.Sikorski.jpg\" alt=\"Zastawa sto\u0142owa, meble ogrodowe z serii Lotos, projekt Julia Zsolnay, Tadeusz Sikorski, lata osiemdziesi\u0105te i dziewi\u0119\u0107dziesi\u0105te dwudziestego wieku.\" class=\"wp-image-34039\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4970889172150068;width:828px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2_T.Sikorski.jpg 512w, https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2_T.Sikorski-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2_T.Sikorski-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zsolnay&#8217;s exhibition spoke about the phenomenon of the Zsolnay manufacture.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/en\/wystawy\/zsolnay-wegierska-secesja\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Hungarian Art <\/em><\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/en\/wystawy\/zsolnay-wegierska-secesja\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nouveau<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0presented at the MCK Gallery in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_bdc860f40027a98d21de9ebd23a1d2d1\">\n    <div id=\"Magazine\">\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"our_series\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-5 col-xl-5 col-lg-5 col-md-5 col-sm-12 photo_report_img\">\n                        <h3 class=\"no_desk photo_headinng\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MCK-HERITO-26-okladka-cmyk-scaled.jpg\" class=\"img_shadow img_all\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-7 col-xl-7 col-lg-7 col-md-7 col-sm-12 photo_report\">\n\n                        <h3 class=\"no_mob\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <div class=\"photo_text\">\n                            HERITO, nr 26: W\u0119gry<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"photo_text1\">\n                            Kim s\u0105 dzi\u015b W\u0119grzy i jak siebie widz\u0105 w Europie \u015arodkowej?
