This is a Herend Queen Victoria porcelain leaf bowl, hand painted with a bright butterfly and clusters of flowers set against soft green shading and a rich gilt rim. The leaf form has softly ruffled edges and a gentle well, perfect for serving small treats or parking jewelry and keys by the door. Color remains vivid and the gold trim is crisp, showing the careful touch Herend is known for. Condition is near mint, with no chips, cracks, or crazing noted and only the faintest shelf wear. Made in 1960, it is a charming, usable accent that brings a splash of cheerful color to a shelf or table.

Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is famed for hard-paste porcelain entirely decorated by hand. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851 and was named after the monarch, who ordered a dinner service. Its butterflies, peonies, and leafy sprays echo Asian export porcelain, then finished with hand-applied 24k gold. Pieces are still painted by individual artisans using multiple firings, and many carry a small painter’s mark beside the Herend shield. The line spans plates, tea wares, and leaf dishes like this, prized by collectors for color and craftsmanship.
