In the following article, we go through the most critical options related to the Herend soup plates and soup cups available for the customer.
The Herend place setting is composed of the following items:
- Soup plate
- Dinner plate
- Dessert plate
- Serving plate
- Crescent
- Bread and butter
- Salad plate
In later posts, we go through all the plates, but now let’s look at the soup plates.
Herend soup plates
We have two options: soup cups and soup plates.
Soup plate
-
- Rimmed Soup plate Vienna Rose Platinum – Herend dinnerware
There are multiple sizes of soup plates.
-
- Soup plate of Herend painted with Hunter Trophies.
-
- Herend soup cup with lid – Apponyi Green with gilded edge – AV
Smaller ones are only for soups, 3,5 [dL]. Larger volumes 7 [dL] – 1 [L] are designed for risotto or Italian pasta foods, chili beans.
Diameters and volumes:
- 21 [cm], 3,5 [dL] – Small soup, mainly used in the US.
- 23 [cm], 5 – 1,75 [dL]
- 25 [cm], 1 – 1,15 [L]
As you can see, multiple volumes are available for the same diameters. The larger volume versions do come with a higher edge.
Soup cup
-
- Herend soup cup with lid – butterfly knob Royal Garden Butterflies
Lid
Soup cups are manufactured in two main versions:
- with lid
- without lid
-
- Herend soup cup Apponyi Green AV with green rose.
-
- Herend soup cup with lid – Rothschild birds
-
- Herend soup cup with lid – fruit knob.
The versions with a lid are suitable for soups that have to be served hot. Such soups are, for example, broths.
The soup cup with a lid is designed to have a cover. Therefore the golden rim will not be damaged by the lid itself. The soup cup without a lid is designed to have no lid. You cannot order lids later for these models, as the golden edge would be damaged.
As the lid has a knob, you can order any Herend knob. We recommend selecting the knob by design. These are usually:
- Rose knob
- Bud knob
- Butterfly kob
-
- Herend soup cup without lid – Rothschild Birds
-
- Herend porcelain Empire gilded soup cup.
The soup cup without a lid is used for cream soups.
Of course, this is decided by everybody’s own decision.
Handles
All the soup cups are available with one handle or two handles. This is a question of personal preference. Handles can help the consumer to drink the soup as well. However, a spoon is also an option, of course.
Available sizes:
- 2,5 [dL]
- 3 [dL]
We will continue with other place-setting elements.
