This elegant item is a Herend Apponyi Tete-a-tete Coffee Set, crafted around 1970. It’s a beautiful serving set that includes a large coffee pot, a sugar bowl, creamer, and two teacups with matching saucers. The set is hand-painted in the signature Chinese Bouquet pattern, also called “Apponyi.” The striking pink floral designs and delicate gold trim give this set a real sense of luxury, but with a warm, personal touch. Measuring about 9.5 inches tall for the coffee pot, and with each piece beautifully balanced, this set is a true standout from any other vintage coffee service you’ll come across. Considering it’s over 50 years old and still in near mint condition, it’s the kind of find that collectors and coffee lovers alike swoon over.
Herend is a name that means quality and tradition in porcelain. Founded in Hungary in 1826, Herend has long been favored by royalty and connoisseurs of fine china. The Apponyi pattern, inspired by 18th-century Chinese porcelain, became one of Herend’s iconic designs after Count Apponyi himself commissioned it in the mid-19th century. Each piece is hand-painted by skilled artisans, making no two sets exactly alike. The craftsmanship ensures these pieces remain cherished heirlooms, not just dishes to use for special occasions. Sets like this don’t come around every day, especially in such pristine condition—so it’s both vintage and fairly rare, especially as people value authentic, hand-painted porcelain more and more as time goes by.
