Herend History
Herend holds a rich history spanning many years, crossing many oceans and charming generation after generation to enjoy worldwide acclaim as the pinnacle in supreme porcelain, also known as “white gold.”
Now the biggest porcelain manufactory in Europe, Herend was founded in 1826 to produce earthenware in the small Hungarian village for which it was named. At the time, Hungary was flooded with low-cost pottery, so competition was fierce. In 1839 a major turning point occurred when Mor Fischer became the Manufactory’s new owner. Taking Herend in an entirely new direction, visionary Fischer carved out the unique niche of producing dinnerware replacement pieces for Europe’s royal families to complement their valuable porcelain patterns from Germany and the Far East.

Herend porcelain, a company whose name has become the pride of the Hungarian porcelain industry, has dazzled decorative art aficionados with wares for nearly two centuries. Over these years, Herend china developed a remarkable array of dynamic porcelain dinnerware patterns alongside smaller decorative vessels and objects to draw a vast clientele ranging from the illustrious ranks of England’s Queen Victoria to those of more modest means that enjoy the brand’s delicately designed figurines. This attentiveness to their clientele, combined with their commitment to exquisite craftsmanship, has made collecting Herend china and Hungarian porcelain all the more enticing.
Herend Porcelain History
Herend was established in the mid 1820s in its namesake town in western Hungary, but did not focus on porcelain production until the following decade, when the company fell under the leadership of director Mór Fischer de Farkasházy. Thanks to Fischer’s high standards for execution and innovation, only a matter of years later Herend china had become a staple among the large aristocratic circles of Hungary and beyond. A featured participant in international exhibitions like the Vienna Exhibition (1845), London’s Great Exhibition (1851), and even New York’s Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations (1853), Herend’s Hungarian porcelain was soon called upon by European nobility to conjure unique, exceptional designs.

The subsequent decades were some of Herend’s most successful, in part thanks to Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph I bestowing upon Fischer the prestigious title of Purveyor to the Royal Court in 1865. Though Herend teetered on hard times and verged on the brink of bankruptcy toward the end of the century, Mór’s grandson, Eugen, was able to resurrect the brand and ensure its survival. One of the means by which Eugen was able to do this was to recommit to an exceptional quality standard while also embracing novel designs, a combination that continues to drive Herend porcelain today.

Herend Queen Victoria Pattern
The Victoria pattern is one of Herend’s most historic designs and takes its name from the eponymous queen who fell in love with its novelty. At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, Herend debuted a new “Far Eastern” pattern, which featured peonies and butterflies inspired by the motifs of Chinese export porcelain. Queen Victoria, the patron of the event, happened to view the pattern and was so enamored that she purchased the set. From that moment on, the pattern adopted her name and continues to be one of the most coveted by collectors.

Herend Rothschild Bird Pattern
Herend gained early acclaim for the elegant means by which their artists captured flora and fauna, and a testament to that brilliance is Herend’s “Rothschild Bird” pattern. Created for Europe’s Rothschild family in 1860, the Herend Rothschild Bird pattern features a series of motifs that tell the story of a baroness’ pearl necklace that becomes a plaything for birds. Based loosely on a story from the family’s history, this pattern was celebrated widely for the delicacy of its motifs and even captured the attention of Princess Diana, who selected this pattern for her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.

Herend Count Apponyi Pattern
With Herend’s acclaim growing over the course of the 1850s and 1860s, each world’s fair exhibition was a chance for the studio to share their new patterns with the world. Such was the case in 1867, when Herend showcased the “Indian Flower Basket” pattern at the Parisian Exposition Universelle. In attendance at the event was Hungarian Count Albert Apponyi (1846-1933), who spotted this line and fell in love with its dominant floral motif. He worked with Herend to modify the porcelain design into a single color floral motif and develop what became known as the “Count Apponyi” pattern that remained in production through the twentieth century.
