This is a Herend Hungary porcelain vase in the Chinese Bouquet, also known as Apponyi, in the raspberry pink colorway. Made in 1960, it has a sleek, gently tapering silhouette with a small foot and a neat, upright stance. The glaze is bright and glossy, and the hand-painted flowers pop in deep pink with tiny touches of gold. A gilt rim and a fine gold line around the base add a quiet bit of sparkle. It’s in near mint shape—clean, crisp decoration with no chips, cracks, or stains and only the lightest signs of handling. Lovely as a stand‑alone accent or filled with fresh stems.

Herend has been crafting porcelain in Hungary since 1826, and every piece is still hand painted. The Chinese Bouquet pattern grew out of 19th‑century European fascination with Asian designs; Count Albert Apponyi asked Herend to simplify its Indian Basket motif, and the result became a classic. Raspberry is one of several colorways, alongside green and blue, and the gold detailing is applied and fired by hand. Pieces are typically artist‑signed and carry the Herend shield mark. Because production is careful and slow, earlier examples like this remain highly collectible and easy to mix with other Herend tableware and decor.

Shown is a Herend Hungary porcelain vase in the Apponyi Raspberry Chinese Bouquet pattern. The hand‑painted raspberry floral spray sits crisply on bright white glaze, with tiny buds and veining that feel lively yet calm. A subtle basketweave texture moves under the light, and true gold trims the rim and foot for a refined finish. Made in 1980, it looks well cared for, with glossy surface, vivid color, and only light, honest signs of age. Its classic, rounded silhouette makes an easy accent on a mantel or nightstand, pretty with a few stems or simply displayed on its own.

Herend has crafted porcelain by hand since 1826 in Hungary, using hard‑paste bodies, multiple firings, and gold accents. Each piece is brush painted and marked with the blue shield backstamp, so no two are identical. The Chinese Bouquet, also known as Apponyi, was developed for Count Albert Apponyi as a simplified take on the company’s earlier Eastern flower motifs. Raspberry is one of the most collected colors, joined by green, blue, and lilac. Fans appreciate the crisp painting and the raised basketweave ground that catches light. Keep it special: hand wash, avoid abrasives and microwaves, and store to protect the gilding.

This is a Herend Porcelain cachepot in the Raspberry Chinese Bouquet (Apponyi) pattern, made around 1980, so it’s about 45 years old. The crisp white body is hand‑painted with a deep raspberry floral spray, finished with a gilt rim and ornate golden side handles. It stands 4.5 inches high, about 7 inches wide across the handles, and roughly 5.5 inches across the opening and length, with a 5.5 inch diameter on the bowl. Overall condition is near mint, with bright gold and no chips or cracks, making it a charming planter or tabletop accent.

Herend, founded in Hungary in 1826, is famous for hand‑made, hard‑paste porcelain fired at very high temperatures and finished with 24k gold. The Chinese Bouquet, also called Apponyi, began as a simplified version of the old Fleurs des Indes motif and was named for Count Albert Apponyi in the 1930s. Raspberry, sometimes listed as Apponyi Pink, is among the most collected colors today. Each piece is painted freehand and usually bears the Herend backstamp and a painter’s mark. A 1980 example counts as vintage rather than antique, and while this pattern is still produced, earlier pieces in such clean condition with strong gilding are increasingly scarce.
