This item is a charming example of vintage Hungarian porcelain—a Herend Apponyi Green Trinket Tray Server, made around 1970. It’s a delicate, rectangular dish adorned with lush green floral patterns and finished off with a graceful gold trim and scalloped edges. At about 2 inches high, 5.5 inches wide, and 7 inches long, this tray is a perfect size for holding jewelry, keys, or small treats. The condition is near mint, which is pretty remarkable given its age—over 50 years old—meaning it looks almost as good as the day it was made, with hardly a scratch or bit of wear to show for its decades of history.

Herend is one of the most beloved and prestigious porcelain makers, founded in Hungary back in the 1820s. The Apponyi pattern, sometimes called the “Chinese Bouquet,” was introduced in the late 1930s and quickly became a staple of Herend’s collections. These pieces were always carefully hand-painted, which gives each one a unique character. You’ll recognize the Apponyi line by its detailed green flowers and foliage designs, often accented by that signature touch of gold. These days, a Herend tray from the 1970s isn’t just vintage—it’s something of a rare find, especially in such excellent shape. Collectors and folks who just appreciate beautiful things know that pieces like this aren’t just decorative—they often tell a story of European craftsmanship that’s getting harder to come by. Whether you use it every day or display it as a special accent, this tray is a slice of old-world charm with a touch of luxury that stands the test of time.
