About Móric Fischer De Farkasházy
- Móric Fischer de Farkasházy (German: Moritz Fischer von Farkasházy, Hungarian: Farkasházy Fischer Mór(ic), (25 March 1799, Tata, Hungary – 25 February 1880, Tata) was a Hungarian porcelain-manufacturer; was one of the founders of the Herend porcelain manufactory in 1839. He rendered distinguished service to Hungarian industry and art through his porcelain manufactory in Herend near Veszprém.
- He was compelled to struggle against innumerable difficulties before he succeeded in developing the small factory which he founded in 1839.
- It, however, became a veritable art institute, comparing favorably with the famous porcelain establishments of Sèvres, Meissen, and Berlin.
- It has been represented at a large number of international expositions by interesting and artistic exhibits, which were invariably awarded first prizes.
- The establishment is at present (1903) under the direction of Eugen Fischer de Farkasházy, a grandson of the founder.
- In recognition of the latter's services Franz Joseph I raised him in 1869 to the ranks of the Hungarian nobility. His great-great-grandchild, Tivadar Farkasházy is a Hungarian humorist, author, and journalist.
