This Herend Hungary porcelain slipper shoe figurine is all charm and sparkle. Finished in the Chinese Bouquet Raspberry, also known as the Apponyi pattern, it shows crisp hand-painted pink blossoms and two raised rosettes on the vamp, with graceful gold trim running along the edges and heel. Made in 2006 and kept in near mint condition, the glaze is glossy, the colors are vivid, and the gilding looks clean with no obvious wear. It sits sturdily on its little heel and pointed toe, making a playful yet elegant accent for a vanity, shelf, or curio cabinet. A sweet gift for a Herend fan or anyone who loves shoes, it carries the classic Herend backstamp and the careful look that only handwork gives.

Herend has crafted porcelain in Hungary since 1826, prized by European courts for its meticulous hand painting. The Apponyi, or Chinese Bouquet, pattern grew from a simplified version of Herend’s early Oriental floral, created for Count Albert Apponyi. Collectors love its many colorways, with Raspberry among the most cheerful. Each piece is fired repeatedly and touched with 24k gold, then signed with the Herend shield and painter’s marks. Figurines like this shoe were made as lighthearted cabinet pieces.

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.
