This small porcelain trinket dish from Herend shows the Green Chinese Bouquet pattern on a crisp white base, with a leafy blossom painted in rich emerald tones. The scalloped rim is finished with hand-applied gold that adds just enough sparkle. It’s a handy little catchall for rings by the sink, earrings on a nightstand, or paper clips on a desk. The glaze is glossy and clean, and the artwork is sharp, with only light signs of age from gentle use. Made in 1980, it brings an easy vintage feel to everyday routines while still being practical and pretty.

Herend, the Hungarian porcelain house founded in 1826, is known for true hand-painted pieces—no decals—decorated and gilded by skilled artists. The Chinese Bouquet motif, also called Apponyi, grew out of Europe’s 19th‑century love of Asian floral designs and was standardized in the 1930s; the green version is a longtime favorite because it mixes well with almost anything. The gold detailing is typically 24k and kiln-fired for that lasting sheen. Collectors look for the blue Herend shield and the painter’s mark underneath, signs of authenticity and craftsmanship. This line is durable for gentle, everyday use, makes an easy gift, and layers beautifully with plain white or patterned tableware.

The vase is made of hand-painted porcelain, showing off vibrant butterflies and blooming flowers on a pristine white background. Two elegant handles sweep up each side, with delicate gold accents providing an extra touch of luxury. The iconic butterfly motif and crisp lines make it instantly recognizable as Herend’s work. Given its age—almost 60 years old—its near-mint condition makes it not only a beautiful decorative object but also a highly desirable collectible for those who appreciate fine European porcelain.

Herend Porcelain is one of Hungary’s proudest exports, world-renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and rich decorating traditions. The Victoria pattern, first introduced at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, takes inspiration from Queen Victoria’s love for florals and butterflies, and became a global hit. Every Herend piece, including this vase, is meticulously hand-painted by skilled artists, a tradition the company has protected since its founding in 1826. Because each piece is unique and the process is so labor-intensive, Herend items have a reputation for rarity and exclusivity—there simply aren’t many out there, especially of this size and shape. The “7702” mark nods to the specific form and pattern style, which helps collectors authenticate and date these precious finds.

Nowadays, it’s rare to come across Herend Victoria pieces, let alone one as large and well-preserved as this amphora vase. It’s not the sort of thing you stumble on at an ordinary antique store. Collectors, decorators, and anyone who loves old-world elegance find these pieces especially captivating. With its blend of Hungarian artistry and history, this vase makes a statement in any home. Even for people unfamiliar with antique porcelain, the sheer beauty and craftsmanship are obvious at a glance. When you see the soft shine of the porcelain, the detail of the flowers, and the colorful butterflies, it’s easy to understand why Herend continues to capture hearts well into the twenty-first century.
