This porcelain jewelry box is a sweet little keeper for rings and small treasures. It’s the Herend Apponyi Pink Chinese Bouquet pattern, with the domed lid painted in bold raspberry blossoms and a crisp gilt band circling the body. The glaze is bright and clean, and the lid sits nicely without wobble. Made in 1970 and kept in near mint condition, the colors are still lively and the gold is smooth with only the faintest signs of careful handling. No chips, cracks, or stains are apparent, and the inside is pristine, ready to live on a vanity or bedside table.

Herend is Hungary’s famed porcelain house, handcrafting fine hard‑paste pieces since 1826. Every step is done by artists, from casting to the last brushstroke. The Apponyi design is a streamlined take on Herend’s Chinese Bouquet, created for Count Albert Apponyi, and collectors know the pink version as Raspberry. Gilding is typically real gold, painted and fired for durability. Authentic pieces show the blue shield backstamp and often a painter’s mark. The pattern remains in production, but earlier examples like this have period details and a warmer gold tone. Care is simple: gentle hand washing, no abrasives, and avoid dishwashers altogether.

This item is a Herend Antique Apponyi Porcelain Jewelry Plate, made around 1980. The plate features a delicate pink floral design in the center, surrounded by an ornate border of pink leaves and finished with elegant gold trim. Measuring about one inch high and just over three by five inches in width and length, this plate is the perfect size for holding precious jewelry, coins, or other small treasures. Its condition is described as near mint, which means it’s practically like new despite being over 40 years old—quite impressive for a vintage porcelain piece. The porcelain itself still looks glossy and crisp, while the intricate hand-painted details show little to no signs of fading or wear. This plate brings a touch of everyday luxury and timeless beauty to any vanity or bedside.

The brand behind this plate, Herend, is famous for its high-quality handcrafted porcelain. Herend porcelain has been produced in Hungary since the early 19th century and is known for its attention to detail and unique, hand-painted patterns. The Apponyi pattern, seen here in pink, is one of the brand’s classic lines. It features bold floral motifs inspired by Asian art, with each piece touched by a skilled artist’s brush. Herend items like this aren’t just collectible—they’re also pieces of art. While not ancient, a jewelry plate from 1980 isn’t easy to find, and because each one was made by hand, no two are exactly alike. For collectors and fans of vintage style, a near-mint Herend Apponyi plate is a rare gem that brings a bit of old-world charm to modern-day living.
