L’éternelle fascination du mythe de Pan se retrouve aussi dans la production de Zsolnay. Autour de 1900 la manufacture produit une série de vases qui évoquent le dieu Pan. Ce vase dont on pourrait attribuer la paternité à Sandor Apati Abt existe dans une version ultérieure verte éosinée. Il représente sans doute Pan courant après la nymphe Syrinx, suivie par ses soeurs qui, pour la protéger du satyre vont la transformer en roseau. Pan transformera en flûte ces roseaux qu’il avait embrassés en pensant attraper la nymphe. Il nomma sa flûte Syrinx. Il existe un autre vase attribué à Sandor Apati Abt, avec une dynamique et un décor semblables, présenté comme pièce d’exposition de la manufacture. Ce vase représente une scène de chasse ou l’on peut reconnaître Pan, également dieu de la chasse. Ce même thème est encore présent sur un vase de 1900 de la manufacture attribué à Lajos Mack qui illustre Pan et vraisemblablement Syrinx entourés de roseaux.

The eternal fascination of the Pan myth is also present in Zsolnay's Art Nouveau production. Around 1900, the factory produced a series of vases evoking the god Pan. This vase, which may be attributed to Sandor Apati Abt, exists in a later eosin green version. It probably depicts Pan pursuing the nymph Syrinx, followed by her sisters who, to protect her from the satyr, transform her into a reed. In turn, Pan transforms these reeds he embraced into a flute, thinking he might catch the nymph. He names his flute Syrinx. Another vase attributed to Sandor Apati Abt, with a similar dynamic and decoration, presented as an exhibition piece by the manufactory, depicts a hunting scene in which Pan, who was also god of hunters, can be recognized. The same theme is present on a 1900 Manufacture vase attributed to Lajos Mack, depicting Pan and presumably Syrinx surrounded by reeds.
