This two-handled porcelain bowl is a cheerful little showpiece. Hand-painted butterflies float over bright garden blooms, all framed by a fresh green border and finished with delicate gilding. The handles have a gentle twist that feels good in the hand, and the scalloped rim gives the whole piece a soft, old-world look. Made in 1970 and kept in near mint shape, the glaze is glossy and the colors are still lively, with only the lightest signs of age you’d expect from careful display. It’s the kind of bowl that works for nuts or candies, yet also stands on its own as a pretty accent.

Herend is Hungary’s famed porcelain house, founded in 1826 and celebrated for hand-painted tableware. The Queen Victoria pattern is its signature. Shown at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851, it caught Queen Victoria’s eye, and the name stuck. The design blends European shapes with an Asian feel: butterflies, peonies, and leafy branches, all outlined and touched with gold. The Green Border version keeps the look fresh and more playful. Every piece is painted by a single artist and fired multiple times, so colors stay crisp. Your 1970 example carries that tradition, and no two bowls are alike.

This vintage Herend pedestal bowl makes a charming little accent piece. Finished in the Queen Victoria Pink pattern, it shows hand‑painted butterflies, blossoms, and foliage in rosy shades with gleaming gold trim. The bowl sits on a square base raised by four gilt paw feet, a playful detail that gives it a regal stance despite its petite size. The glaze is bright and smooth, and the pinks have stayed vivid. The gilding catches the light nicely with only faint signs of gentle handling at the feet and rim typical of age. Dated to 1970 by the mark, it’s a sweet, display‑ready dish for candies, keys, or jewelry.

Herend, founded in Hungary in 1826, is famed for meticulous, fully hand‑painted porcelain. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at the 1851 Great Exhibition, when the monarch chose a Herend service, launching the design. The pink version, often called Victoria Rosa, keeps the butterflies and blooms but pares the palette for a softer look. Each motif is brushed by an artist, then kiln‑fired; the gold is applied and fired again. Paw feet echo classical claw mounts. Collectors prize crisp painting, even gilding, and clear marks. Always hand wash; avoid abrasives entirely, microwaves, and dishwashers.
