Overview & History
Founded in Hungary in 1826, Herend is celebrated for meticulously hand-painted porcelain - dinnerware, figurines, and decorative pieces - including the iconic fishnet (porcelain scale) motifs of patterns like Rothschild Bird and Queen Victoria. Each piece is hand-painted and marked, and value depends on the pattern, the size and complexity, whether items form a complete service, and condition. Large hand-painted figurines, rare patterns, and full dinner services command the most.
Identifying & Marks
Look for the blue Herend shield mark, often with a pattern code and form number; the mark and code identify the pattern and help date the piece. Hand-painting quality and pattern rarity drive value.
