    This is apparently not a very common piece, according to what I read on the web. Since Hungary doesn't appear on it, I imagine that means it's an earlier design. I'm still looking......will probably email Hollohaza and ask.

    "kézzel festett" means handpainted.

    Thanks for looking at my sturgeons! I had two of them in my pond, but both died at about 20 years of age. Now I have something in their memory. :-)))

      @kyra - they were between 80 and 90 centimeters, I believe.

      Wow! Really amazing! You must have a well balanced pond to have been able to keep them that old and big, bravo :-)
