Exceptionally rare Herend porcelain figurine “Csárdás”, designed in 1932 by renowned Hungarian sculptor János Pásztor (1881–1945) . Never mass-produced, signed by the artist, and not recorded in public sources – a unique prototype of outstanding artistic and historical value. Manufacturer: Herend Porcelain Manufactory, Hungary Designer: János Pásztor (signed on the base) Title: “Csárdás” (traditional Hungarian folk dance) Year of design: 1932 Production: This model was never mass-produced, which makes it exceptionally rare (confirmed in writing by the Herend factory, see attached correspondence). Material: Hand-painted hard-paste porcelain Dimensions: approx. 20 × 17 × 12 cm (measured including protruding details) Condition: Very good condition – no chips, cracks or restorations Marks: Factory impressed and painted Herend shield, artist’s signature Pásztor J. The composition of this figurine is unusually complex for serial porcelain production, which may explain why it was never released into regular manufacture. The presence of the sculptor’s own signature, uncommon for Herend pieces, suggests that this example may have been among the very first prototypes. No other images of this model are known in public sources or online collections, underlining its exceptional rarity and historical significance. This figurine unites the finest craftsmanship of Herend with the artistic legacy of one of Hungary’s most celebrated sculptors.
