Herend China Regal Enthusiasts

Herend is a brand that has been well-known among elite porcelain enthusiasts and collectors for over two centuries. Among the regular customers of Herend were prominent figures such as King Edward VII of England, Russian Tsar Alexander II, and later, Nicholas II.

One of the brand’s famous admirers was the renowned banker Rothschild, who ordered a porcelain set with an exquisite pattern featuring birds and green leaves. Each piece displayed a design of a gold necklace hanging from a branch. This unique style reflected a family legend of the Rothschilds about a lost necklace that was later found in the garden. The masterful execution of this set caught the attention of many and was purchased by the Emperor of Japan, the King of Thailand, the Sultan of Brunei, and the royal courts of many European countries.

The names of Herend’s designs often echo the surnames of these distinguished clients, such as Apponyi, Victoria, and Rothschild. Herend is a member of the European Porcelain Manufactory Association. The focus of their work is on overglaze painting, and all the paint used is completely safe for health. Herend’s achievements have been recognized with the “Hungarian Heritage Award.”

The material undergoes extreme heat treatment, which gives it exceptional strength and a delicate, airy feel. This unique combination is then covered with the brand’s signature pattern, a skill that has been perfected over nearly two centuries.

Second, it’s the design. The talent and expertise of the artists are brought to life in color, creating masterpieces that last for generations. Like paintings by famous artists, Herend sets will enhance any collection and ceremony, highlighting the owner’s status and taste.
