This Herend Hungary porcelain slipper shoe figurine is all charm and sparkle. Finished in the Chinese Bouquet Raspberry, also known as the Apponyi pattern, it shows crisp hand-painted pink blossoms and two raised rosettes on the vamp, with graceful gold trim running along the edges and heel. Made in 2006 and kept in near mint condition, the glaze is glossy, the colors are vivid, and the gilding looks clean with no obvious wear. It sits sturdily on its little heel and pointed toe, making a playful yet elegant accent for a vanity, shelf, or curio cabinet. A sweet gift for a Herend fan or anyone who loves shoes, it carries the classic Herend backstamp and the careful look that only handwork gives.

Herend has crafted porcelain in Hungary since 1826, prized by European courts for its meticulous hand painting. The Apponyi, or Chinese Bouquet, pattern grew from a simplified version of Herend’s early Oriental floral, created for Count Albert Apponyi. Collectors love its many colorways, with Raspberry among the most cheerful. Each piece is fired repeatedly and touched with 24k gold, then signed with the Herend shield and painter’s marks. Figurines like this shoe were made as lighthearted cabinet pieces.

This is a Herend Apponyi dessert plate in the Raspberry Chinese Bouquet pattern, shape 515/AP, made in 1980. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and about 1 inch high, it’s a small, elegant plate for cake or fruit. The scalloped rim is edged in real gold, and the white porcelain shows Herend’s crisp basketweave texture with pink floral sprays and a central bouquet. Condition is near mint—no chips, cracks, or noticeable wear to the gilding—so it’s ready to display or use on special occasions. At roughly 46 years old, it qualifies as true vintage and has the refined look collectors expect from Herend.

Herend, the Hungarian porcelain house founded in 1826, is known for hand-painted, kiln-fired pieces finished with 24k gold. The Apponyi, or Chinese Bouquet, pattern is a streamlined take on Herend’s earlier Indian Basket motif, created for Count Albert Apponyi around 1930. Raspberry (sometimes called Apponyi Purple) is among the most loved colorways. Code 515 refers to the dessert size on the Osier basketweave blank. Each plate takes many hours of brushwork, so production is limited. While not ultra-rare, 1980 examples in near mint condition are increasingly hard to find and tend to hold their value over the years.
