This is a luxury jewelry tray from Herend, hand painted in the Apponyi Raspberry pattern. The bright raspberry-pink flowers pop against glossy white porcelain, and the leaf-shaped rim is finished with rich hand-applied gold. Made in 1970, it’s now 56 years old, vintage and edging toward antique status. The piece is in near mint condition, with crisp gilding and clean glaze, a good sign it was displayed more than used. It’s a petite catchall that feels fancy without being fussy—perfect for rings by the sink, bedside odds and ends, or serving a few wrapped sweets when company drops by.

Herend Porcelain of Hungary has been making hand-crafted porcelain since 1826, prized by European courts and collectors for meticulous brushwork and 24-karat gold accents. Apponyi, also called “AP,” is a streamlined take on the older Indian Basket motif, refined for Count Albert Apponyi in the early 20th century. Raspberry is one of the sought-after colorways, produced in smaller numbers than the classic green. Every piece is freehand painted, so tiny variations show the artist’s touch; most carry a Herend shield backstamp and a painter’s mark. Hand wash only, and avoid microwave or dishwasher. Near mint 1970 examples are hard to find.
