This is a vintage Herend Chinese Bouquet Purpur Urn Vase, a real gem for anyone who appreciates classic porcelain. Made around 1970, this piece stands six inches tall and spreads out to a width and length of five and a half inches. The delicate hand-painted floral design, known as the “Chinese Bouquet Purpur” pattern, really pops against the crisp white of the porcelain. With its accented gold rims and its deep, vibrant pink flower motif, this vase is just as at home on a mantel or shelf as it is used as a centerpiece for fresh or dried flowers. Remarkably, after more than half a century, it is still in mint condition, which is rare for such collectible porcelain items. Its age and pristine state make it not just a decorative item but also a great collector’s piece, perfect for those who like mixing vintage charm with their décor.
Herend is a name that carries a lot of weight in the world of fine porcelain. The Hungarian company, founded in 1826, quickly made a name for itself with its commitment to quality and artistry. Each Herend item is crafted and painted completely by hand, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike—each has its own little quirks and touch of personality. The Chinese Bouquet, often called “Apponyi” after its first commissioner, is among their most recognizable patterns. Originally designed in the 1930s, it was inspired by earlier Asian motifs that were popular in Europe centuries ago. The “Purpur” (purple) colorway, in particular, is favored for the vibrancy of its magenta-pink hue, which stands out as both elegant and a little bit playful.
The fact that this vase was produced in 1970 makes it more than 50 years old—so it’s not just vintage, but moving toward antique territory. Outside of museums and serious collections, it’s not something you’ll find every day, especially in such flawless condition. Herend’s craftsmanship and the vase’s rarity mean it’s a genuine find whether you’re an experienced collector or just appreciate beautiful home décor with a story behind it.
