This is a Herend Rothschild Birds porcelain vase from around 1970, a graceful trumpet form on a pedestal foot with a fine hand-painted scene of two songbirds on a branch and fluttering butterflies. The white ground is bright and clean, finished with delicate 24k-style gilt trim at the rim and base. It stands 8 inches tall (20 cm), about 5.5 inches wide (13.75 cm), and 3.5 inches deep (8.75 cm). Condition is near mint, with crisp colors and intact gilding, the kind of piece that looks just as happy on a mantel as it does holding a small bouquet. At roughly 56 years old, it’s firmly vintage, and this size and shape aren’t as common as the dinnerware, making it a nice find for collectors.
Herend, founded in 1826 in Hungary, is famous for fully hand-painted hard‑paste porcelain. The Rothschild Birds pattern, introduced around 1860 for the Viennese Rothschild family, tells the legend of a misplaced necklace discovered in a tree by birds—hence the perching birds and playful butterflies. Pattern code is RO, and no two scenes are exactly the same because each piece is painted by an individual artist, then accented with real gold and fired multiple times. Vases from the 1960s–70s era are sought after, especially in clean condition with strong color and gilding, and they’re less common than plates or cups.
