This is a Herend Cleopatra Art Deco white porcelain statue from around 1970. It’s a glossy, bright white figurine showing Cleopatra in a dramatic kneeling pose with a stylized serpent, all smooth curves and strong Deco lines. The piece measures about 10 inches tall (25 cm), 3.5 inches wide (8.75 cm), and 5 inches long (12.5 cm). Condition is Near Mint, with clean glaze and crisp modeling, the kind of look that catches light beautifully on a shelf or mantel. At roughly 56 years old, it’s firmly vintage and not something you see every day, especially in this striking, all‑white finish.
Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is known for world‑class hard‑paste porcelain and careful hand finishing. Most folks recognize their famous hand‑painted patterns like Queen Victoria, Rothschild Bird, or the Fishnet designs, but Herend has long made sculptural figures too, including sleek, Deco‑inspired pieces like this. Statues from the late 1960s–70s were produced in smaller runs than dinnerware, so they’re harder to come by and popular with collectors. Authentic examples typically show the blue Herend Hungary shield mark and impressed model numbers on the base. Because of the craftsmanship and brand reputation, well‑kept Herend figures tend to hold their value and bring a bit of refined, old‑school quality to everyday spaces.
