This vintage Herend pedestal bowl makes a charming little accent piece. Finished in the Queen Victoria Pink pattern, it shows hand‑painted butterflies, blossoms, and foliage in rosy shades with gleaming gold trim. The bowl sits on a square base raised by four gilt paw feet, a playful detail that gives it a regal stance despite its petite size. The glaze is bright and smooth, and the pinks have stayed vivid. The gilding catches the light nicely with only faint signs of gentle handling at the feet and rim typical of age. Dated to 1970 by the mark, it’s a sweet, display‑ready dish for candies, keys, or jewelry.

Herend, founded in Hungary in 1826, is famed for meticulous, fully hand‑painted porcelain. The Queen Victoria pattern debuted at the 1851 Great Exhibition, when the monarch chose a Herend service, launching the design. The pink version, often called Victoria Rosa, keeps the butterflies and blooms but pares the palette for a softer look. Each motif is brushed by an artist, then kiln‑fired; the gold is applied and fired again. Paw feet echo classical claw mounts. Collectors prize crisp painting, even gilding, and clear marks. Always hand wash; avoid abrasives entirely, microwaves, and dishwashers.
