This beautiful piece is a Herend Chinese Bouquet Green Centerpiece, an elegant example of mid-century Hungarian porcelain craftsmanship. Crafted around 1960, this centerpiece has stayed in remarkable mint condition, which makes it even more special for collectors and decorators alike. At just 1 inch tall and spanning 6 by 7.5 inches, it’s not too big or too small, so it works just right as a dining table feature, a coffee table catch-all, or even as a fancy bonbonniere for treats. The signature motif—a delicate hand-painted green floral bouquet—sits in the center, framed by a woven porcelain design and highlighted with touches of gold that really bring out the fine detailing. For something that’s over 60 years old, it’s stayed vibrant, and the mint condition just adds to its value and appeal.
Herend is a name most people associate with quality and tradition, and their pieces have been collector’s favorites for generations. The Herend Porcelain Manufactory was founded in Hungary back in 1826, and through hard work and incredible attention to detail, they’ve become world-famous for luxury hand-painted porcelain. Every Herend piece is made by skilled artisans using traditional processes, which is what makes them so collectible and respected. The “Chinese Bouquet” pattern, or “Apponyi” as it’s often called, is one of the brand’s classic designs—characterized by stylized foliage and blooms inspired by Far Eastern porcelain from the 18th century. The green version, in particular, is a popular choice, and each item in the line gets its own unique hand-painted touches.
Vintage Herend items from the 1960s, especially those in mint condition, have become increasingly rare to find. Most pieces were made to be used, not just displayed, so surviving examples that still look untouched are always sought after. When you pick up a piece like this, you’re not just getting a pretty bowl or dish for the house. You’re getting a slice of history, made in a small European factory by master painters, each brush stroke applied with care. That’s what makes Herend porcelain special, and why people look for it at antique markets and estate sales—even if it’s just to add a little bit of old-world charm to their everyday table.
