In central Europe - Austria-Hungary and what are now the Czech and Slovak states - Art Nouveau ceramic production was generally far more commercial than elsewhere. With the marked exception of some Viennese workshops, the design was geared more to popular taste.

In Pécs, Hungary, Vilmos Zsolnay and his son Miklós created a range of brightly-coloured lusterware at the family firm of Zsolnay founded in 1862. Around 1899, a factory chemist, Vince Wartha, developed the Eosin glaze for which the firm became world-famous.
