Zsolnay, Lívia (1885 - 1970)

Sculptor and ceramist. The second child of Tádé Sikorski and Júlia Zsolnay. She started to mould clay and design ceramics under the guidance of her parents and Lajos Mack in the Zsolnay Factory, then continued her art education in Florence. The Finnish sculptor Yrjö Liipola was one of her instructors. Miklós Zsolnay adopted the daughters of her sister in 1891; from that time on she used both names. Following the First World War she left the firm and did not become associated with the partnerships formed by family members which ran the Budapest and Pécs factories.
