This is a Herend porcelain egg trinket box in the Queen Victoria pattern, made around 1970 and about 56 years old. It’s a small, lidded box with a bright hand‑painted mix of flowers and leaves, highlighted with fine gold bands and a scalloped border. The glaze is glossy and the paintwork is crisp, the kind of detail you feel when you turn it in your hand. Condition is near mint, with only the lightest signs of handling. At 2 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 3 inches long, it’s just right for rings, a few keepsakes, or to sit pretty on a vanity or bookshelf.

Herend is Hungary’s famous porcelain house, founded in 1826 and known for pieces painted entirely by hand. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted in 1851 after Queen Victoria admired it at London’s Great Exhibition and ordered a service; the design blends butterflies and peony‑style blooms inspired by 19th‑century Asian porcelain, finished with real gold accents. Collectors call it “Victoria” or “VBO.” While plates and tea pieces are common, small egg boxes are a bit less seen, which makes a clean 1970 example appealing. Each Herend piece is individually painted and fired multiple times, so no two are exactly alike, and older examples like this tend to show especially sharp color and line.

This is a Herend cachepot with ram‑head handles in the Apponyi Raspberry pattern, made in 1970. It measures 5 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 5 inches in both length and diameter (12.5–20 cm), a handy size for a table or windowsill. The white porcelain shows a raspberry floral motif with gold on the rim and the sculpted ram heads. Condition is near mint, with clean glaze and bright original gilding—great for display or a small plant. At roughly 55 years old, it’s solidly vintage, and this ram‑handle shape is less common than standard bowls or plates.

Herend is the Hungarian porcelain manufactory founded in 1826, celebrated for hand‑painted wares. Each piece is formed from hard‑paste porcelain, fired multiple times, and finished by artists who paint the pattern and apply real gold by hand. Apponyi, introduced in the early 20th century at the request of Count Albert Apponyi, simplifies Herend’s earlier Indian Basket design. The Raspberry colorway is a vibrant magenta that reads fresh yet traditional. A cachepot with sculptural ram heads nods to classical urns and is produced in smaller numbers than typical tableware. Expect the Herend shield mark and painter’s numbers underneath. Hand wash to keep gilding crisp.
