| This is a "kulacs", a thermos designed with fur and leather. The red-colored eggs symbolize fertility. The muffin is called "pogacsa" in Hungarian. The accent is on the first syllable and the "cs" sounds like the American "ch". |

 |
Another boldly painted red egg! The "Matyo" style hand-embroidered table cloth is very famous. |
| Exquisitely designed eggs! The hand-embroidered table cloth is extraordinary. |
 |
 |
I remember this postcard of an inquisitive but shy bunny most often! It is among my favorites. |
| Another style of Easter basket. Miniature eggs or candies are included here. |
 |
 |
Plainly colored eggs with two happy chicks! Again, a miniature basket of another style. |
| Two toy bunnies bringing chocolate eggs! A cute Easter basket completes this card. |
 |
 |
These two dolls are adorable! I do not know the region from where the costumes originate ... but they are authentic. The ceramic plate and bowl are "prized" Hungarian possessions! |
| Two chicks again this time a drawing - not a photo. The decoration on the eggs are typical traditional designs. |
 |
 |
This most likely is a birthday card ... one of my favorites! The children are wearing the national costume of Hungary. Easter is most enjoyed by this age-group. I remember it well! |
| Another pretty picture of a bowl with beautfully painted eggs! Pussy-willows often show up on Easter cards ... representing spring, I think. |
 |
 |
This little chick is well-dressed with a ribbon! Numerous traditionally designed eggs - an artistic pleasure. |
| Last but not least ... a spotted bunny bringing us eggs! In addition to Hungarian painted eggs ... this multicultural bunny is delivering an American-style plastic egg which is split in half and put together. |
