Familiar Collection

The collection made up from the Aszalós Porcelains tells some very important things about the two artists creating in the Aszalós Family and about their creator-principles. The highly meticulousity of the motifs talks about their sensibility and their abundance in feelings, while the great variety met here reveals their artistic creativity and their openness to the novelty.

A part of the collection in the property of the family consists of those pieces that were preserved as patterns at the birth of each décor and apart from these there are also pieces destined only for expositions which has their own stories and importance in the Family’s life. Several Aszalós Porcelains are characterized by a rich range of colours, the spcial profundity and shine of which are due to the technological innovation worked out by Éva Aszalós who finished her studies in this beautiful field of art in 1974. Characteristic pieces are also the white-gold décor-compositions that, although being of classical nature, are realized in an unusual form and as free-hand drawings demand a great deal of virtuosity and professional skill from an artist. In the Family’s private collection, included their patterns designed for coffee and tea serveces and single cups, there are more than 700 décors.

Their works of art – within the colours and forms of the Secessionist style – are all hand-painted exclusively on the basis of their own designs and are on view in the Family’s show-room. Their all works of art are characterized by fine and meticulous graphic-drawins of 24 karat gold or platinum, that in the case of several décors signify the fourth or fifth burnt. Éva Aszalós and her daughter, Hajnalka Aszalós work exclusively with colours burnt at high temperature (950-1250°C) and mostly containing precious metals, that they combine and lay on the surface of the porcelain with brushstrokes.

The peculiar glaze named for Moonlight, the particularity of which is in its light-refraction characteristic of the precious metals, is one of the Éva Aszalós’s technological innovations. This colour is the result of a unique technology that renders the differences of the materials almost indistinguishable, glittering in various shades depending on the shape of the porcelain, although it preserves its peculiar dominant green colour.

It’s more years that Éva Aszalós, returning to one of her passions of her youth, has created severak beautiful oil paintings within the boundlessness of the Secessionints style’s colourful world. The closest theme to her heart is the union of faces and the marvellous miracles of nature from which the secrets of the eyes and glances conduct us us, illuminating their secrets, into a world built up from colours and feelings. In the familiar collection by today there are several oil paintings, the reprodutions on canvas made of which, you can find in the web-gallery presenting the art-work of the Family and the Mrs. Éva Aszalós’ work of life under the Reproductions on canvas link. These oil paintings, just like the works of art of porcelain-painting, could be seen on several exhitibition. (See: Exhibitions & References).

The two artists, Mother and her Daughter, has been always intent on found a familiar tradition, hoping that the tradition of creation will be continued in the Family, the most regarded result of which is to have the possibility of bringing joy to others, and hoping that through their works they can invite peoples into the world so noble and miraculous of the porcelains and of the oil paintings.
