This is a Herend Hungary porcelain vase in the Queen Victoria Green Border pattern, hand painted and gilded. Bright peonies, leaves, and butterflies pop against glossy white, while the mint‑green scalloped border and fine gold rim frame the artwork. Its rounded body and flared mouth feel welcoming and easy to place on a mantel, nightstand, or entry shelf. The piece is near mint, with crisp color, clean glaze, and strong gilding, showing only the lightest shelf rub on the base from gentle display. Use it for a few garden stems or let it stand alone for a neat, classic touch.

Herend has crafted hard‑paste porcelain in Hungary since 1826 and soon became a favorite of European courts. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851; after the queen bought a service, the design took her name. Inspired by East‑Asian ceramics, it shows stylized peonies and butterflies in many colors, fired repeatedly for depth. Artisans brush on real gold and burnish it to a soft gleam. The Green Border variant, code VBO, adds the fresh green band. Authentic pieces bear the blue Herend shield and “Herend Hungary Handpainted,” often with a painter’s or pattern number prized by collectors.

This is a Herend Queen Victoria vase from 1970, hand painted and finished with rich gilt in a lively Rococo shape. The body features a bright peony spray with multicolor leaves, framed by scrolling, openwork foliage washed in soft apple green and highlighted with gold. A scalloped rim and pierced foot keep it light and elegant, and the glossy glaze shows off the colors beautifully. It’s in near mint condition with crisp painting and intact gilding, ready to hold a small posy or to shine as a cabinet piece that draws the eye.

Herend is Hungary’s celebrated porcelain maker, known since the 1820s for fully hand‑painted work. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851, where Queen Victoria purchased a service; the cheerful butterflies and garden flowers became Herend’s signature and took her name. Every decoration is brushed by hand, then the piece is kiln‑fired multiple times and finished with 24k gold. Many shapes echo 18th‑century Rococo porcelain, which suits the pattern’s playful colors and scrolling leaves. Collectors look for the blue Herend backstamp and painter’s numbers on the base, along with the VBO code that identifies Queen Victoria variations and colorways.

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.
