• Eosin is Zsolnay's patented iridescent metallic glaze (1890s) — the green-gold shimmer that also roofs Matthias Church
• Barely exported: in the US these trade as collector pieces at $400+ when they surface at all
• Entry eosin pieces (small animals, dishes) start around 25,000-40,000 Ft if the vase is too much
• At 69,900 Ft a single vase just misses the 70,000 Ft tax-free line — add any small piece to the same receipt to qualify
• Pack as carry-on; it's the whole trip's most fragile buy
