This charming piece is a Herend Apponyi Pur Pur hand-painted floral dish, a lovely slice of mid-century craftsmanship from Hungary. Created around 1960, this porcelain plate is petite—just about three and a half inches in both width and diameter, and one inch high—so it’s perfect for delicate treats, jewelry, or just for show. The hand-painted Chinese Bouquet pattern, done in a rich pink with touches of gold along the scalloped rim, really pops against the clean white porcelain. Its condition is described as near mint, so it looks much like it did when it was first made over sixty years ago, making it a rare find today. If you enjoy vintage home décor or collecting unique tableware, this is the kind of piece that really stands out thanks to the detailed design and careful making.
Herend is a famous Hungarian porcelain manufacturer that has been around since 1826, known worldwide for its hand-painted and often intricate designs. The Apponyi pattern, often called the “Chinese Bouquet,” traces its roots back to the 19th century and was originally made for Hungarian nobility. Over the years, it’s been done in many colors, but the pink (Pur Pur) version is especially striking for collectors. Herend porcelain is still crafted by hand today using traditional techniques, and each piece is unique. Many people collect Herend for its artistic flair and the connection to European history. Owning a piece from the 1960s means having a slice of that tradition, and with its age and near-pristine condition, this small plate is both vintage and quite rare to come by, adding a touch of timeless elegance to any setting.
