This is a Herend Hungary Queen Victoria small bud vase, made around 1960 and kept in near mint shape. The porcelain is bright white with a glossy glaze, and the long neck and rounded base give it an elegant look. Hand‑painted flowers and colorful butterflies wrap the body, and the rim is edged in real gold. The artwork is crisp, with no notable rubbing, and I see no chips, cracks, or repairs. It holds a single rose or garden sprig nicely, yet it also displays well on its own. At about 65 years old, it’s a true mid‑century piece that still feels lively.

Herend has made fine porcelain in Hungary since 1826, and each Queen Victoria piece is painted by hand. The pattern debuted in 1851 at London’s Great Exhibition, when Queen Victoria purchased a service that lent its name. Its butterflies, peony‑like blooms, and leafy branches draw from Chinese export porcelain, finished with 24k gold. Because production is painstaking, genuine mid‑century examples are not common, especially this clean. Collectors know the VBO code and look for the blue Herend shield on the base, sometimes a painter’s mark. Hand wash only. A charming accent for classic or eclectic spaces anywhere.
