About the HMV Majolica Factory
'In 1912, a factory was built and the HMV Majolika Gyár started to produce tiles, tableware and decorative objects. In 1950 a new company was founded under the name Hódmezővásárhely Majolika Gyár Állami Vállalat / HMV Majolica Factory State Company. At the beginning, the production relied heavily on the folk art traditions of the region. The cultural policy of the early 1950’s supported and encouraged the rediscovery of the traditions of the Hungarian peasantry in order to incorporate them in the new Socialist art. In 1958 and 59 two ceramicists who recent graduates, Gyula Végvári and János Fekete become designers at the factory. They were both influenced by traditional folk art and both worked on its modern sinthesis.'
