This is a Herend Apponyi large coffee cup and saucer pair from 1980, perfect for a quiet cappuccino or tea for two. The bright white porcelain is thin and resonant, and each cup has a scalloped rim, a curled handle, and a band of real gold around the edge. The raspberry‑pink Chinese Bouquet flowers are hand painted, with little sprigs inside the bowls and a bold blossom framed on the outside and on the saucers. Nicely kept and clean, the set looks fresh on a table or in a cabinet, ready to use, gift, or add to a growing collection.

Herend is Hungary’s famed porcelain house, founded in 1826 and long favored by European courts for hand‑made, hand‑painted tableware. Craftspeople shape the forms, paint every motif with mineral colors, and finish the rims with fired 24k gold. Apponyi, also known as Chinese Bouquet, was named for Count Albert Apponyi, who asked for a simplified version of the older Fleurs des Indes pattern. The raspberry colorway seen here is a collector favorite and mixes well with other Apponyi colors. Pieces usually carry the Herend backstamp and painter’s marks. Gentle hand washing is recommended to protect the gilding and preserve the glaze.
