Herend has been making porcelain by hand in the Hungarian village of Herend since 1826, when Vince Stingl founded the forerunner of the manufactory. Under Mór Fischer, who took over in the 1830s, it grew into one of Europe's great porcelain houses, drawing on Chinese export porcelain for inspiration and winning royal patrons along the way. Each of these pieces is hand-painted and finished with 24k gilt, and each carries a pattern with a story.
Choose from three designs:
Rothschild Bird Urn, 4.5" x 3.5" — A small classical urn with a scrolled handle, set on a gilded square plinth, painted with a pair of colorful birds among leafy branches. The Rothschild Bird pattern dates to the 1860s and was created for the Rothschild banking family, who supported the factory's growth. It is said to have been inspired by the tale of a baroness's pearl necklace and a bird's nest. The pattern remains one of the most loved of all Herend designs.
Queen Victoria Eton Vase, 5.5" tall x 3.75" at widest — A graceful baluster vase with the soft basketweave texture, hand-painted with peonies and delicate floral sprigs and edged in gold at the rim and foot. Queen Victoria pattern debuted at London's Great Exhibition of 1851, where the queen admired it so much that she ordered a service for Windsor Castle. Herend later named it in her honor.
Apponyi Yellow Claw-Footed Cachepot, 4.25" x 4.25" — An empire-style cachepot on gilded paw feet and a gold-edged square plinth, painted in warm golden yellow with chrysanthemum blooms, leaves, and a scalloped gilt-and-coral border. The floral design behind the Apponyi pattern traces to Herend's showing at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle, where Hungarian Count Albert Apponyi fell in love with its dominant floral motif, and it later carried his name.
Lovely on a dresser, a bookshelf, or a dining table as a bud vase or a small cachepot for a tiny plant.
Tucked inside every order, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
