This is a luxury jewelry tray from Herend, hand painted in the Apponyi Raspberry pattern. The bright raspberry-pink flowers pop against glossy white porcelain, and the leaf-shaped rim is finished with rich hand-applied gold. Made in 1970, it’s now 56 years old, vintage and edging toward antique status. The piece is in near mint condition, with crisp gilding and clean glaze, a good sign it was displayed more than used. It’s a petite catchall that feels fancy without being fussy—perfect for rings by the sink, bedside odds and ends, or serving a few wrapped sweets when company drops by.

Herend Porcelain of Hungary has been making hand-crafted porcelain since 1826, prized by European courts and collectors for meticulous brushwork and 24-karat gold accents. Apponyi, also called “AP,” is a streamlined take on the older Indian Basket motif, refined for Count Albert Apponyi in the early 20th century. Raspberry is one of the sought-after colorways, produced in smaller numbers than the classic green. Every piece is freehand painted, so tiny variations show the artist’s touch; most carry a Herend shield backstamp and a painter’s mark. Hand wash only, and avoid microwave or dishwasher. Near mint 1970 examples are hard to find.

This piece is a Herend openwork centerpiece in the Apponyi Green, also called Chinese Bouquet. It’s a low, rectangular basket with hand-twisted, lattice sides and a flat, painted panel in the middle showing a green floral spray framed with little gold flower cartouches. The porcelain is bright white and the painting is crisp, which suits its near mint condition. It measures about 1 inch high, 7 inches wide, and 4.5 inches long, so it’s a sweet size for a table accent, a candy or nut tray, or a dresser catchall. Made in 1970, it’s about 56 years old—vintage, and a nice find in this shape.

Herend is the famed Hungarian porcelain house founded in 1826, celebrated for fully hand-painted pieces collected by European royals and design lovers alike. The Apponyi pattern began when Count Albert Apponyi asked for a simplified take on Herend’s older “Indian Basket” motif; the result is the Chinese Bouquet design you see here, often edged with 24k gold and produced in several colors, with green being a classic. Openwork baskets are especially labor-intensive: artisans roll and join the strands by hand before firing and painting. Authentic examples usually carry the Herend shield mark and a painter’s number. Vintage 1970 openwork pieces in near mint condition aren’t common, which adds to its appeal.
