About Herend: Queen Victoria dined on it, and Princess Diana delighted in finding it in her annual Christmas stocking. 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 manufacturer in Europe, Herend was founded in 1826 in the small village of Herend, Hungary, and at one point, was renowned for its unique niche of producing dinnerware replacement pieces for Europe’s royal families to complement their valuable porcelain patterns from Germany and the Far East. In the 1870s Herend added meticulously-crafted figurines to its creations. Demand for Herend’s animal figurines gradually grew in the 1930s. Herend’s trademark fishnet design – which is most popular in the U.S. -- originated in 1874 when an artist intrigued with a Chinese plate’s fish scale design painted it onto a rooster figurine’s breast to imitate feathers.
