What you’re looking at is a Herend Rothschild trinket box, made around 1970. This lovely porcelain box is hand painted and features a charming bird motif on its lid, surrounded by touches of gold that give it a real sense of old-world elegance. It’s not a huge piece, measuring about 2 inches tall and 3 inches wide and long, but it’s a perfect size for holding special keepsakes, jewelry, or tiny odds and ends. The finish and paintwork are in near-mint condition, so it looks almost as fresh as the day it was made—over 50 years ago. That definitely makes it a vintage treasure, since true Herend pieces from this era are getting harder to find, especially in such great shape.
Herend is a Hungarian porcelain manufacturer known for its fine, hand-painted pieces, and the Rothschild Bird line is one of its most beloved patterns. The story goes that the Rothschild family commissioned this design after losing a necklace in their garden, only to find it later, thanks to some clever birds. That’s why you often see a necklace and birds on these pieces, a little nod to that bit of history. Herend is still respected around the world for its craftsmanship, using traditional techniques that date back over a century. Collectors love these boxes because not only are they pretty to look at, but each one is hand painted, so no two are exactly alike. Finding one from the 1970s in near-mint condition is quite a rare treat and adds a bit of classic style to any shelf or dresser.
