Herend porcelain Exhibition in Vienna - Hotel Marriott
In 2018 November, we had the honour to organise a Herend Exhibition in Vienna. Many of our customers and visitors did not have a chance to visit this event. We decided to share this experience with you now, through this article.
The exhibition presented multiple Herend porcelain items. The visitors had the chance to see rare Herend tea, coffee and dinner sets. Herend Animal figurines were also presented.
The pair of wild ducks is a large Herend porcelain animal piece. Painted in natural colour ( Pair of Ducks 5035-0-00 C ) where one duck is white, where the other one is painted as a male duck – Mallard.
Staying at the animal wlidlife, a large ornamental dish was presented. The dish was painted with artistic water scene “Mallards on the Branch”. the ~70 [cm] in diameter dish is a detailed artwork for exclusive collectors.
The best friend of men. Hunter dogs were present at the large exhibited hunter porcelain items. The German Setter 5207-0-00 MCD is a typical hunter dog.
The rich gilded edges are typical motif of Herend dishes. In case of such a large, exclusive piece the size of the gilded edge is also wider. Decorated with nonfigurative black lines, dissolves the harsh wide gold. Above, a pierced stripe makes the large structure even harder to produce.
The large piece of porcelain is ~70 [cm] in diameter.
Compare the German Setter and Roe Buck Herend figurines and the Herend vase. The dog figurines are considered large porcelain statues, but the Herend vase dwarfs them.

Dinner sets with game trophies – CHTM – were also presented. For more “Hunter Trophies CHTM” dinner set pieces, visit the Hunter Trophies decor site. As you can see some edges are painted with gold, others are painted with green.
