This is a Herend Hungary porcelain vase in the Chinese Bouquet, also known as Apponyi, in the raspberry pink colorway. Made in 1960, it has a sleek, gently tapering silhouette with a small foot and a neat, upright stance. The glaze is bright and glossy, and the hand-painted flowers pop in deep pink with tiny touches of gold. A gilt rim and a fine gold line around the base add a quiet bit of sparkle. It’s in near mint shape—clean, crisp decoration with no chips, cracks, or stains and only the lightest signs of handling. Lovely as a stand‑alone accent or filled with fresh stems.
Herend has been crafting porcelain in Hungary since 1826, and every piece is still hand painted. The Chinese Bouquet pattern grew out of 19th‑century European fascination with Asian designs; Count Albert Apponyi asked Herend to simplify its Indian Basket motif, and the result became a classic. Raspberry is one of several colorways, alongside green and blue, and the gold detailing is applied and fired by hand. Pieces are typically artist‑signed and carry the Herend shield mark. Because production is careful and slow, earlier examples like this remain highly collectible and easy to mix with other Herend tableware and decor.
