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.

This charming Herend jewelry box shows the classic Rothschild Bird scene on its domed lid: two songbirds perched on a flowering branch above a grassy mound, surrounded by hand-painted detail. The white porcelain gleams, the gilt rim is bright, and the colors are lively, showing careful handling. A small butterfly on the side adds a playful touch. The lid lifts off smoothly to reveal a clean interior, perfect for rings, earrings, or tiny keepsakes. Made in 1980, it’s a sweet, display-ready piece that adds a bit of old-world polish to a dresser or vanity.

Herend is a Hungarian porcelain house founded in 1826, known for finely modeled, fully hand-painted wares. The Rothschild Bird pattern dates to the 1850s and carries a beloved tale: a misplaced family necklace was supposedly found in a tree where birds had nested, inspiring the picture of birds and fluttering insects. Each box is painted freehand, then accented with real gold and fired multiple times to set the colors and sheen. No two are exactly alike, and pieces often bear the Herend shield mark and painter’s initials on the base. Collectors still highly prize the pattern for its cheerful nature scenes, timeless look, and enduring craftsmanship.
