New advertisement 2013
The Herend Porcelain Manufactory has traditionally made its handicraft masterpieces for 187 years. Herend Porcelain is made by hand from the shaping and casting of the raw porcelain paste by potters to the value-creating firing in the kilns and the last brushstroke thereby Herend Porcelain is a Hungaricum and part of the Hungarian Heritage.
VRPT
The recently revamped design of the Viennese Rose now merges several of its variations. The scattered rosebuds, the enlarged central or the speckled smaller rose blossoms triumph in their own right on individual items. The refreshed pastel hues further emphasise the coherence of the distinct motifs. The symbolism of the rose pattern has not lost any of its symbolism and its revival embodies the perpetuation of our cultural heritage.
FORET
Motifs of the Foret were inspired by the Rothschild, one of Herend’s best known decorative patterns. However, with the forest being its main theme, it represents various plants and birds in a unique twist.
Teeming with life of all kinds, it is mainly the densely growing trees that lend forests their function as habitats and refuges.
Thanks to the colourful and vivid compositions, one can almost feel the breeze of the forest and the caress of leaves, or hear the chorus of songbirds.
A sumptuous meal in the outdoors – wherever you are
Polka
New for 2013 is a minimalistic porcelain service that Vienna-based POLKA Products Designstudio has created for the Herend Porcelain Manufactory.
The design of the new service is pared-down, balanced and markedly elegant. Shapes were inspired by the latest trends in tableware, first and foremost making the set suitable for diverse functions.

Herend Cryptex
The cryptex appeared in the story of “The Da Vinci Code”. This mechanical device constructed from Herend Porcelain and noble metals is a beautiful and rare ornament on the desktop of powerful, dynasty founder wealthy men. Within their cryptexes lies the paper-roll of the family tree inherited from father to son across centuries or the symbolic strategic documents of a company: the mission statement and corporate values.
Apponyi Jubilee
The prestigious Herend Porcelain Manufactory is even today one of the icons of craftsmanship: its delicate, handpainted table sets became parts of fine dining in many corners of the world. The aristocracy always enjoyed selecting its own collection: several patterns were named after the most famous personalities of their age, such as Batthyány, Héderváry, Esterházy, Rothschild, Liechtenstein, and this year’s highlighted pattern, Apponyi, one of the most popular patterns of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory.
Openwork collection
The ancient technique of porcelain-openwork origins from the Far East and is at least as old as porcelain making itself. This new collection from the Herend Porcelain Manufactory consists of bonbonnieres, bowls and vases, presenting the masterpieces of 21st Century craftsmanship.
The technique of openwork requires high-level professional skills and experience from the porcelain makers. Due to this special manufacturing method each delicate item is unique.
QS decor

CMU decor

Apponyi decor
The centre of the plate shows a motif in Chinese style: the Fleurs des Indes (Flowers of the Indies) motif of a peony surrounded by leaves. Round the edge of the well runs a garland of stylized leaves, broken periodically by gilded and incised rosettes. On the ledge there is a contoured pattern of a flower surrounded by six leaves, decorated with sparkling flecks of gold. The origin of the pattern is associated with Count Albert Apponyi, for whom this simplified version of Fleurs des Indes was first prepared. The Apponyi décor comes in orange colour variant.
FLT decor
This simple pattern consists of a decorative arrangement of bright strawberries. The central motif consists of finely painted, red-yellow strawberries on thin stalks, interspersed with greenish-yellow leaves. The ledge is covered by a finely drawn network formed of the fruit and leaf stalks, between lavishly gilded bands. The pattern gains an unforgettable interest from the way it contrasts geometrical precision with the pliancy of the natural world.
Modern style cups and saucers
The elegantly simple cups were created based on the idea of two famous British designers, David Queensberry and Martin Hunt, with a perfect combination of tradition and innovation.
The Empire style cups were enriched by the Herend painters with decorative gilding and painting, reflecting different moods.
