Herend Porcelain Manufactory
Herendi Porcelánmanufaktúra
A world-class hand-painted porcelain manufacturer founded in 1826, where you can watch workshop demonstrations, visit the museum, and shop at the flagship store.
Located in the town of Herend, west of Veszprém, the manufactory was founded in 1826 and is known for hand-shaping and meticulous hand painting. It once made tableware for Queen Victoria and the Habsburg royal family. The visitor center has a miniature workshop where you can watch throwing, openwork, and painting up close. The museum displays masterpieces from different eras, and a café next to it serves coffee in Herend porcelain. Admission starts at about 3,500 forints, and the flagship store sells some seconds at a discount. It's about 30 kilometers from Tihany, so you can combine it with a day trip to Veszprém.
