This is a Herend Apponyi Green ash tray that works perfectly as a ring or trinket tray. Made in 1970, it’s in near mint shape with bright, hand‑painted green blooms at the center and a clean white ground. The rim is finished with neat touches of gold that still look crisp, with only the lightest signs of handling. Its oval, boat‑like form sits on a small foot, so it feels a bit special on a nightstand, vanity, or desk. The glaze is glossy and smooth, the painting sharp and lively, and there are no chips or hairlines to distract from the look.

Herend is the famed Hungarian porcelain house founded in 1826, known for fully hand‑made and hand‑painted pieces collected by European courts and design lovers alike. The Apponyi, also called Chinese Bouquet, was created for Count Albert Apponyi as a simplified take on Herend’s earlier Indian Basket motif, itself inspired by 18th‑century Asian floral designs. The pattern comes in many colors; Apponyi Green is among the classics, paired with real gold accents and fired several times for depth and durability. Each piece is painted by a single artist and marked with the Herend shield and work numbers, which is why even small trays like this feel like little works of art.
