With a delicate floral pattern featuring small, hand-painted purple and blue flowers, it’s a real charmer for anyone who appreciates vintage porcelain. Its gold trim along the edges adds a touch of elegance, while the dainty handle and gently scalloped rim show off classic European craftsmanship. The cup stands about 2 inches tall and measures around 5 inches in diameter, just the right size for a cozy cup of tea.

Herend is a legendary porcelain brand from Hungary, with roots going back to the 1800s. Known for their hand-painted pieces, each Herend item, like this Mille Fleur cup and saucer, is unique thanks to the artistry involved. The Mille Fleur pattern means “a thousand flowers” and is especially beloved by collectors for its cheerful mix of small blossoms. People all over the world prize Herend porcelain not just because it’s pretty, but because it’s made to last. Back in the 1970s, having a Herend tea set was a real status symbol, often given as special gifts and kept in the family as heirlooms. Today, vintage Herend pieces like this one are sought after at auctions and antique shops, especially when they’re in great condition. If you love having something with real history and a touch of class, this tea cup and saucer bring both to your table.
