This beautiful piece is a Herend Rothschild Shell Tray dating from around 1980, making it over 40 years old and giving it true vintage status. Its scalloped, shell-like shape is not only elegant but also practical, perfect for holding candies, jewelry, or even just as a centerpiece to admire. The hand-painted porcelain features a scene with two birds perched on a branch, surrounded by delicate butterflies and greenery, all brought to life with vibrant colors and intricate detail. Accented with a soft gold trim, this tray really highlights the refined touch that Herend is famous for. Measuring roughly 4 inches high and 9 inches across, it stands out without overwhelming your table or display. The condition is near mint, so for a piece of this age, it’s a rare find—especially in the sought-after Rothschild 7446 pattern.
The Herend porcelain brand, founded in Hungary in the 1820s, has always been synonymous with luxury and fine craftsmanship. The Rothschild pattern itself has an interesting backstory: it was first introduced in the 1850s and named after the wealthy Rothschild family of Austria, who reportedly commissioned similar bird motif pieces for their grand estates. Each item in this line is hand-painted, making no two pieces exactly alike. Herend’s detailed designs and high-quality porcelain have made it a favorite among collectors and even royalty. Over the years, the Rothschild pattern, with its charming birds and playful butterflies, has remained one of Herend’s most cherished and collectible lines. Modern collectors love these pieces not just for their beauty, but for the connection to a handcrafted tradition that has survived for centuries.
