This is a Herend porcelain basket in the Raspberry Apponyi pattern, hand painted with lush pink florals and finished with bright gold scrollwork. Made in 1970 and kept in near mint condition, it shows crisp gilding, clean glaze, and only the lightest signs of handling. The rococo-style handle and scalloped rim give it a graceful, old-world feel, while the compact bowl makes a charming spot for candies, keys, or simply display. At about 56 years old, it’s a true vintage piece, the kind that adds a bit of European elegance without feeling fussy. It presents beautifully from any angle.

Herend, founded in 1826 in the Hungarian village of Herend, is famed for hand‑painted hard‑paste porcelain favored by European courts. Artisans train for years, and pieces are fired repeatedly before being trimmed in 24k gold. The Apponyi motif—also known as Chinese Bouquet—grew from the earlier Indian Basket design and was named for Count Albert Apponyi in the early 20th century. Raspberry is one of the most collected colorways. Production is in small workshop batches, so no two items are alike. A 1970 example like this is considered vintage rather than antique, and near‑mint survivors are sought after by decorators and collectors.
