Herend Porcelain
Queen Victoria VBO
Herend fine china hand-painted
Born in 1851. Herend Queen Victoria avec Bord en Or is perhaps Herend’s most Famous Pattern is made up of almost a hundred kinds of stylized Butterflies and Sprigs of Blossom, painted in cheerful and lively colors. The vital element of the décor is the Peony, which derived from China before becoming one of the favorite motifs of early European porcelain. The combination of red, blue, purple, yellow, and green Butterflies, flowers, and sprigs make a cavalcade of color, surrounded by a gilt rim that stands for the green of a meadow. Despite the Chinese inspiration behind this imaginative combination assembled by the second founder of Herend, Mór Fischer, it gives a Hungarian impression. It recalls Hungary’s woods and meadows and the colors and murmurings of country gardens. The décor was unveiled at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, where it scored a Huge Success. The recognition meant a gold medal from the jury and a commission from the person who gave her name to the décor.
