It is mentioned in the article that the "Herend porcelain factory of Móricz Fischer" received "honorary mention". 9 What is more, the dates of the two exhibitions almost coincided, that of Pest being from 11 August to mid-September, that of Kassa being reported on in Hetilap on 15 September. That allows for the assumption that the factory was capable of providing two collections. 10 Mihalik 1957, 132. 11 Mihalik 1954, 172 and Mihalik 1957, 115. 12 Explorations in 1980 found identical material and brick-laying to the walls of the stable in the Perényi wing of Sárospatak castle.
