Vince Stingl (born as Vincze (Vincentius) Ferencz Stingl, 23 May 1796 - around 1850) was a Hungarian-German porcelain manufacturer, entrepreneur, industrialist who founded the Herend Porcelain Manufactory in Herend, Hungary.
Vince Stingl was born on 23 May 1796 in Sopron to Leopold Stingl and Catharina Stermenzky.
Stingl's grandfather Casparus Stingl (son of Christoph Stingl) moved from Hätzenren, Bohemia, to Sopron, where he got citizen rights on 19 January 1748 and worked as a coppersmith. He had six daughters: Anna Maria (1745-1791), Theresia (1747-?), Maria Elisabeth (1750-?), Magdalena (1752-?), Susanna (1755-?), Catharina (1760-1819) and one son, Leopold (1755-) who inherited his father's job. He lived in the 515 Würtshaus Gasse (today 56 Várkerület) with his wife, Catharina Stermenzky and their eleven children Mathias (1786-1806), Theresia (1787-?), Theresia (1789-?), Leopoldus (1791-), Aloysia(1794-?), Maria Catharina (1797-?), Maria (1800-?), Anna Catharina (1802-1803), Nepomuk Johann (1804-?), Anna Jozefa (1806-?) and Vince. His father was a coppersmith.
In 1807 Vince's father died. His sons were too young to take over the father's job and they don't want to work as coppersmith, because at that time other types of bowls and dishes especially ceramics were spreading. His mother moved with the children to Pápa, Hungary where they started to study cardpainting. In Pápa Vince worked also as card painter.
Stingl learnt first in Vienna and then from 1814 in Pápa tile production before he became the production manager of the Schlögel Stoneware Factory (Schlögel Kőedénygyár) in Tata, Komárom, Hungary at the age of 23.
