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.

This is a Herend Bouquet de Fleurs openwork plate from around 1960, sitting low at 1 inch tall and measuring 9.5 inches across in width, length, and diameter. It’s near mint, with bright glaze, crisp painting, and clean gilding. The center holds a lively hand-painted bouquet—pinks, yellows, blues, and fresh green leaves—while the rim shows a pierced lattice framed by rosy scrolls and flowers. The plate feels delicate but sturdy, the kind of cabinet piece you set on a stand and enjoy every day. At about 66 years old, it’s vintage, and the reticulated rim makes it the scarcer version.

Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is famed for hand-painted porcelain made start‑to‑finish by artisans. Royal households and world fairs helped put the brand on the map, and patterns like Queen Victoria and Rothschild Birds became icons. Bouquet de Fleurs follows that tradition, inspired by 18th‑century European flower studies, and often marked BDF on the base. Openwork pieces are tougher to make: the lattice is hand cut, the colors fired multiple times, and the rim finished with real gold. Fewer were produced and many broke in firing, so surviving 1960 examples in near mint condition are genuinely hard to find.
