This is a Herend Queen Victoria cachepot, hand‑painted porcelain with the classic bright peonies and fluttering butterflies, rimmed in gold. Made in 1950, it’s about 76 years old and shows near‑mint condition—clean glaze, crisp colors, and only the lightest shelf wear to the gilding. It measures 2 inches high, 3 inches wide, 2.5 inches long, and 6.5 inches in diameter, a compact bowl suited for a small plant or a catch‑all on a dresser. The twin side handles and shallow pedestal foot add formality, while the cheerful palette makes it easy to mix into everyday decor at home.

Herend, founded in Hungary in 1826, is famed for porcelain that’s formed, glazed, and painted entirely by hand. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at London’s 1851 Great Exhibition; Queen Victoria bought a set, and the name stuck. Artists still paint each blossom and butterfly one by one, then fire the piece multiple times, finishing with 24k gold accents. Mid‑century cachepots like this are less common than plates or cups, so clean examples feel a bit rarer. Look for the Herend shield mark and painter’s initials on the base. Collectors prize the VBO palette, and values stay steady thanks to limited, labor‑intensive production.
