This unique piece is a Herend Porcelain Figurine from 1970, sculpted by the artist Szilagyi Nagy Istvan. The figurine is called “Art Deco Nude With Mirror,” and it stands about 9.5 inches tall, with a width and length of 6 inches each. The design showcases a nude woman kneeling gracefully while examining herself in a golden mirror, wrapped partially in a delicately colored green drape. With its elegant lines and soft color palette, it’s a striking example of the Art Deco period, even though it was produced in the 1970s. Despite being over 50 years old, this figurine is in near mint condition, meaning it’s almost as fresh as when it was first made. Finding one in such great shape is rare, making it a true prized find for collectors and art lovers alike.
Herend is a name known around the world for fine porcelain. Coming from a tiny village in Hungary, Herend was established way back in 1826. Over time, it grew famous for its meticulous hand-painted porcelain figures, dishes, and decor items. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Herend was the porcelain of royalty and aristocrats—Queen Victoria herself was a fan! The craftsmanship put into every piece remains top notch, with artists often working for years to perfect their style. Art Deco pieces like this nude figurine reflect a special era of design—bold, stylish, and ahead of its time. Since many Herend figurines were made in very limited numbers, and each was hand-painted, tracking down this exact era and artist’s work is increasingly difficult, making it a true vintage treasure for anyone who loves porcelain art.
