This beautiful figurine is a Herend Golden Oriole Bird Pair, hand-painted with meticulous detail in Hungary around the year 1940. Even after more than 80 years, this porcelain piece is in near mint condition, making it a true treasure for collectors. The vibrant yellow and black coloring of the birds catches the eye, and the delicate brushwork brings them to life on the branch, with fine touches on their feathers and beaks. At about 4 inches tall, wide, and long, it’s a modestly sized piece but full of charm, perfect for displaying on a shelf, in a glass cabinet, or as a centerpiece. This kind of craftsmanship from the early 20th century is getting hard to find, especially in such well-preserved condition.
The Herend Porcelain Manufactory is a legendary Hungarian brand, world-famous for its hand-painted figurines and fine porcelainware since its founding in 1826. Herend’s animal figurines, especially birds, are sought after for their lifelike details and vibrant colors, each one individually painted by skilled artisans. The quality and distinctiveness of Herend pieces set them apart, and those from the 1940s are especially collectible—coming from a period when European fine arts were made to an incredibly high standard before mass production changed the industry. Each Herend piece is marked by unique artistry and carries a bit of history with it. Today, finding a vintage Herend figurine, especially something as striking as this Golden Oriole pair, is a rare treat for anyone who appreciates art, antiques, or simply wants a bit of old-world charm in their home.
