This lovely piece is a Herend Apponyi Mocha Set, often called a Tête-à-Tête set, made in 1980. It’s a two-person coffee set, perfect for sharing intimate coffee moments with a friend or loved one. The pattern is the iconic Raspberry Chinese Bouquet, which stands out with its rich pink floral designs and delicate touches of gold along the rims and handles. At over 40 years old, this set is considered vintage, and its condition is described as near mint, meaning it looks almost as good as when it was made. The set includes a coffee pot, sugar bowl, creamer, two cups, and matching saucers—everything you need to enjoy a fresh brew in style. With its fine porcelain construction and exquisite hand-painted details, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill coffee set. It’s something special for those who appreciate elegance and a bit of history with their morning routine.
Herend is a name well-known by collectors and lovers of fine porcelain. Established in the early 19th century in Hungary, Herend quickly gained a reputation for handcrafted, beautifully decorated porcelain pieces that blend European and Asian influences. The Apponyi pattern, sometimes called “Chinese Bouquet,” originated from a design created for Count Apponyi in the 1930s. Its fan base includes royals and discerning collectors worldwide. Each Herend piece is hand-painted, making every set slightly unique. The company’s work is so well-regarded that it’s been favored by the Habsburg dynasty and British nobility. So, if you stumble upon or already have one of these sets, you’re holding a little piece of art and history, as well as a rare item that’s only grown more collectible with each passing decade.
