This vintage trinket dish is a Herend Queen Victoria jewelry tray from around 1950, and it’s in near mint shape. The porcelain has a bright, glossy glaze and a thin hand-applied gold rim that frames the colorful flower spray in the center. The painting is crisp, with layered petals in pinks, lilacs, and blues and fresh green leaves, the kind of detail you only get from a skilled decorator. It’s the perfect catchall for rings, earrings, or loose change on a nightstand or vanity. No chips, cracks, or staining—just the lightest signs of age and careful use.

Herend is a Hungarian porcelain maker founded in 1826, famous for painstaking hand painting and luminous white bodies. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London; the story goes that Queen Victoria loved the design and ordered a service, and the pattern took her name. Its look is inspired by 18th‑century Asian porcelain, with peonies, butterflies, and leafy branches picked out in cheerful colors and finished with real gold. Every piece is individually decorated, so small variations are normal and desirable. Collectors look for the Herend shield mark and painter’s numbers underneath. Gentle hand washing is recommended for longevity.

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.
