As much a museum as it is a
shop, Apponyi is an authorized
retailer of Hungary's inest
porcelain, known as Herend. The
Herend factory, to the west of
the city, has been making exqui-
site porcelain for generations.
Most pieces at Apponyi command
high prices. Everything is dis-
played in large wooden cabinets -
themselves priceless - beneath a
splendid wooden ceiling.
