This piece is a Hollohaza Art Deco flared porcelain vase finished in a bold black-and-white scheme with a striking purple iris outlined in rich gold. The wide trumpet mouth and slim waist give it a graceful, architectural profile, while the gilt rim and stylized stems add a touch of luxury. Made in 1980 and kept in near mint condition, it shows clean glaze, sharp color, and bright gilding with no noted chips or cracks. It’s the kind of statement vase that looks just as good holding a few tall blooms as it does displayed on its own on a sideboard or mantel.

Hollohaza is one of Hungary’s oldest porcelain makers, founded in 1777, and known for fine hard‑paste porcelain, hand-painted decoration, and hand-applied gold detailing. During the late 1970s and 1980s the factory produced designs that nodded to classic Art Deco—crisp contrasts, strong silhouettes, and elegant florals like this iris. Collectors appreciate Hollohaza for its craftsmanship, export history, and accessible pricing compared to bigger names. Typical care is simple: dust with a soft cloth, wash by hand in lukewarm water, and avoid harsh scrubbers to protect the gilding. This vase neatly captures the brand’s mix of Old World skill and vibrant, modern styling.

This is a Herend Cleopatra Art Deco white porcelain statue from around 1970. It’s a glossy, bright white figurine showing Cleopatra in a dramatic kneeling pose with a stylized serpent, all smooth curves and strong Deco lines. The piece measures about 10 inches tall (25 cm), 3.5 inches wide (8.75 cm), and 5 inches long (12.5 cm). Condition is Near Mint, with clean glaze and crisp modeling, the kind of look that catches light beautifully on a shelf or mantel. At roughly 56 years old, it’s firmly vintage and not something you see every day, especially in this striking, all‑white finish.

Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is known for world‑class hard‑paste porcelain and careful hand finishing. Most folks recognize their famous hand‑painted patterns like Queen Victoria, Rothschild Bird, or the Fishnet designs, but Herend has long made sculptural figures too, including sleek, Deco‑inspired pieces like this. Statues from the late 1960s–70s were produced in smaller runs than dinnerware, so they’re harder to come by and popular with collectors. Authentic examples typically show the blue Herend Hungary shield mark and impressed model numbers on the base. Because of the craftsmanship and brand reputation, well‑kept Herend figures tend to hold their value and bring a bit of refined, old‑school quality to everyday spaces.
