This lovely piece you’re looking at is a Herend MHG Motifs Hongrois Plate, dating all the way back to 1970. That means it’s over 50 years old, making it a genuine vintage collectible. It’s in near mint condition, which is pretty remarkable for an item of this age. The plate is about 10 inches across and just over an inch high. The crisp white porcelain is hand-decorated with colorful floral motifs, typically found in Hungarian designs, and it has delicate gold accents along the rim that give it a refined touch. It’s just the right mix of fancy and homey, perfect for display in a hutch or even for those special occasions when you really want to impress your guests. The craftsmanship stands out, with intricate hand-painted details that make each plate slightly unique.
Herend is a legendary porcelain manufacturer in Hungary, known for making fine hand-painted porcelain pieces ever since the early 1800s. The MHG Motifs Hongrois line reflects traditional Hungarian style, bringing together heritage patterns and a sense of Eastern European folk charm. Herend’s pieces have long been prized by collectors and even royalty—notably, the brand has been favored by the Habsburgs and Queen Victoria. You don’t see many plates from this era, especially not in such fantastic shape. Because each piece was hand-painted, finding matching sets or even single plates can be a bit of a treasure hunt. People love Herend for both its beauty and its durability, and collectors often seek out these MHG Motifs pieces for their cheerful colors and classic artistry. If you come across one at a flea market or in a vintage shop, you’re looking at a little slice of European history.
