Knowing secrets is fun. Imparting secrets to those reading this message is a source of happiness for me, and you, dear reader, are one of the first people to whom this secret has been unveiled.

The Frankfurt International Trade Fair is a must for most companies on the market, including Herend Porcelain Manufactory. This is a place where new products are launched. One where 'well-guarded secrets' are revealed to the public. We have a history of turning events in Frankfurt into a real show of spectacular Herend surprises.

But we're not quite there yet. Two more weeks before we start getting serious. This is a time of suspense for us and for fans of Herend Porcelain.

And what about secrets? Here's one.

Something you are about to see. This year's big project, a wonderful new mystery to please the eye. You are among the select few to marvel at the Big Secret almost two weeks before its public unveiling.

Just a few days ago, Herend saw this year's sensational achievement, which you can lay eyes on right here. Although consisting of several components, it can transform into one huge picturesque mystery seascape. Its sheer size, the minute realism of its liveliness, and the incredible technical craftsmanship employed to create it put it in the league of exclusive Herend memorabilia. The atmosphere of sea fish, all that underwater life and the waves complete with the colours of the sky simply cannot leave the enthused viewer unaffected.

How does the mystery end? It's all very simple. What was a secret some time ago is no longer one. It is a pleasure for me to recommend to all of you this monumentally spectacular object of the highest artistic aspirations, soon to be displayed as a major attraction at the Frankfurt International Trade Fair. Its design is the work of Etelka Meixner, the painters are Roland Lakk and Tamás Pék. Let the magic unfold. See it all for yourselves. Come, see us at the Frankfurt Fair, and discover all the magic there is to see.
