In 1876 Mór retired to Tata and turned the factory over to his other son Sámuel. After working for the factory, Vilmos moved to Kolozsvár and signed his work “porcelain-painter, Kolozsvár.” Thus at the 1879 National Industrial Exhibition at Székesfehérvar all three were represented- Mór Farkasházy Fischer, Tata, porcelain items; Sámuel Farkasházy Fischer, purveyor to his Majesty the King, Herend; Vilmos Farkasházy Fischer, porcelain-painter, Kolozsvár. The factory was taken over by the government in 1884 and about this time the brothers moved to Tata, took over&nbsp; their father’s workshop and operated it as “sons of Mór Fischer.”</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-judaica-n09955/lot.103.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-judaica-n09955/lot.103.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-judaica-n09955/lot.103.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
