Herend, a historic Hungarian manufactory; the “Victoria” pattern, created by Fischer Mor, made the manufactory famous worldwide by the early 1850s. The yellow, red, blue and purple roses, the butterflies and other small insects compose the oriental-inspired decoration, yet in Hungarian style, which enjoyed enormous success at the London World Exhibition in 1851. The recognition, in addition to the gold medal awarded by the jury, was also due to the fact that Queen Victoria of England, from whom most pieces took their name, ordered the “Butterfly” service for Windsor Castle.
