Herend
PAIR OF LIONS
Founded in 1832, Herend is one of the world's most renowned porcelain makers. Based in Hungary, Herend porcelain's skilled artisans design and hand paint a wide variety of masterworks, from adorable hand painted figurines to stunning dinnerware.
Discover the charming porcelain animals of Herend, revered for their elegant sculptural forms and wonderful fishnet pattern. Introduced in 1858, these subjects soared into popularity in the 1950s and remain sought after today, particularly in the United States. Creatures in the menagerie develop from the wellspring of an artist's imagination, often inspired by a personal experience such as a real-life encounter with a particular animal, or from the requests of collectors. Luxurious 24 karat gold accents the figures, adding even more to the enjoyment, value and beauty of each piece.
The fishnet design for which Herend is famous was first seen in 1858 when a Herend artist became intrigued with an old Chinese porcelain plate bearing a fish scale design. Captivated by the intricate style, he incorporated it onto a rooster figurine by painting a black fishnet pattern onto the bird in imitation of feathers. That figurine remains popular even today.
