According to the Hungarian Ethnographic Lexicon, the héréss is one of the final acts of the wedding: that is, the bride's wedding party's visit to the groom's house. This took place on the second day of the wedding, which lasted several days, as its purpose was to see the bride who had been taken away from the house and had become a bride. ; The joking customs often took place in a mischievous mood during and after the entire wedding. This is also copied by the héréss vessels, which depict the woman and the man naked. The Ethnographic Museum in Budapest keeps three such jars, which were brought there from Nemesradnót in 1931. ; They were presumably made in Rimaszombat or Fazekaszsaluzsány, and were collected by a certain Jenő Endler. ; The third human-headed earthenware jar is also round in shape with a narrow bottom, on top is a bed, an unclothed couple sits on it, wearing hats, the man is holding his genitals. Its clay is yellowish-white, with colorful glazes: brown, green, yellow and colorless. Stamped buttons on the legs of the bed. ; The Lidike Pihenőház has rethought the custom and, based on photographs, has had the 2018 versions of the herreszés vessels made by ceramic artist Danka Bakšová in Fazekassaluzsány.
