The item in the picture is a Herend Queen Victoria Scalloped Tray, crafted around 1970, making it over 50 years old. This piece is a beautiful example of Hungarian fine china, with a hand-painted butterfly motif on gleaming porcelain. Measuring half an inch tall, six and a half inches wide, and eight and a half inches long, it’s the kind of serving tray that turns everyday snacks or desserts into something special. Despite its age, it’s in near mint condition, which is pretty rare for something that’s been around since the 1970s. The scalloped edge, trimmed in gold and soft green, gives it a delicate, vintage look, and the vibrant butterflies and flowers are painted with an artist’s careful hand—each piece is unique.
Herend is a name that stands out in the world of fine porcelain. Founded in Hungary in 1826, the Herend Porcelain Manufactory became world famous when Queen Victoria herself bought a set at the Great Exhibition in London back in 1851. That’s why this pattern is called “Queen Victoria.” The delicate designs, bursting with color and detail, are all hand-painted, which is part of what makes Herend—especially pieces like this tray—so collectible and cherished by both decorators and collectors alike. In the 1970s, Herend continued its tradition of old-school craftsmanship, and owning an authentic piece from this era means you have a little bit of European luxury and heritage right in your home. Finding a tray like this in nearly perfect shape isn’t something you see every day, making it a true vintage treasure for any lover of classic porcelain or anyone who appreciates finely made ceramics.
