This stunning piece is a Herend Antique Openwork Vase from around 1930, and it really showcases just how elegant vintage porcelain can be. It’s fairly small, standing about 5 inches tall and only about 2 inches wide and long—making it perfect as a classy little centerpiece or an accent on a shelf. What really stands out is the detailed cutout work along the sides, forming a delicate floral pattern that’s highlighted with fine gold accents. It’s in near mint condition, which is rare for items this old, especially when you consider it’s nearly a century old. The white porcelain has stayed bright, and the gold decoration still has that beautiful, mellow shine that antique pieces pick up over the years.
Herend is a name that’s well-known among collectors and lovers of fine porcelain. The Herend Porcelain Manufactory, founded in Hungary in the early 1800s, is famous for its hand-painted designs and incredibly skilled craftsmanship. Each item, whether it’s a vase or a dinner plate, was made with real attention to detail—even more so for openwork pieces like this one, where artisans would carefully cut out patterns before firing the porcelain. In the 1930s, Herend pieces were especially sought after by European aristocracy and collectors all over the world, thanks to their elaborate patterns and exclusive, limited production. Finding a Herend vase from this era in such great shape is pretty uncommon, and many of these vintage items never made it out of private collections. If you appreciate rare, finely made crafts, this Herend vase is a beautiful example of antique European porcelain at its best.
