This item is a Herend Trinket Box, beautifully handcrafted from fine porcelain and decorated with a delicate hand-painted kitty and floral motif, all finished with a touch of gold on the rim. Measuring about 3 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 4.5 inches long, this small box is the kind of thing you imagine sitting gracefully on a vintage vanity or tucked away on a dresser, protecting little treasured trinkets or jewelry. It was crafted in 1950, which means it has over 70 years of history, making it a wonderful conversation starter and a lovely example of mid-century European artistry. The box has survived in near mint condition, which is rare given its age—many porcelain pieces from that era have chips or scratches, but this one has held up beautifully.
The Herend brand itself comes out of Hungary and is famous worldwide for its luxury hand-painted porcelain. Starting in 1826, Herend began as a small workshop and quickly earned a name for its intricate, hand-painted pieces and its commitment to old-world porcelain techniques. Collectors love Herend not just for the high-quality porcelain, but also for the delicate, often whimsical designs—flowers, animals, and lavish gold accents. Pieces like this trinket box are highly collectible, especially when they’re from earlier periods or in such good shape. Given that it comes from around 1950 and is still pristine, it’s considered both vintage and relatively rare. Herend collectors and lovers of fine china cherish these kinds of boxes for their beauty, craftsmanship, and the touch of elegance they bring to any setting.
