Story
In 1858, a Herend painter was inspired by the scales on a Chinese plate and began doodling a similar pattern on a porcelain bird's breast; this 'fishnet' design soon became the company's most coveted signature.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1826 in a small Hungarian village, Herend rose to international fame after winning a gold medal at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, where Queen Victoria herself ordered a massive set.
Condition & Value
The glaze appears lustrous and the hand-painting remains crisp and vibrant. Large-scale Herend figurines (typically over 10 inches) are significantly more valuable than the common miniatures.
