Pair of Rare Herend Hungary "Rothschild Bird" Hand-Painted Vases – Models 7023 & 7077
Description:
Elevate your collection with this exquisite duo of hand-painted Hungarian porcelain from the world-renowned Herend Manufactory. This set features two complementary silhouettes in the iconic Rothschild Bird (RO) pattern, a design synonymous with European royalty since its debut in 1860.
The Pieces:
1. Model 7023 Baroque Handled Urn (approx. 8"): A sophisticated ovoid body featuring two ornate Baroque-style scroll handles, heavily accented in 24k gold. The central motif is a masterfully painted pair of songbirds.
2. Model 7077 Trumpet Vase (approx. 5.5" - 6"): A classic flared silhouette on a pedestal base, perfectly sized for mantel or cabinet display.
Pattern Significance:
The "Rothschild Bird" pattern is legendary for its fine detail and hidden narrative. Each piece depicts a pair of birds perched on a branch, famously accompanied by a lost gold necklace—a reference to a 19th-century legend involving Baroness Rothschild. The white porcelain ground is further embellished with delicately scattered butterflies, ladybugs, and insects, ensuring no two pieces are exactly identical.

• First Quality: Both pieces bear the official Herend blue shield mark, confirming they are first-class gallery items.
• Craftsmanship: 100% hand-painted with hand-applied 24k gold gilding on the rims and handles.
• Condition: Excellent condition. No chips, cracks, crazing, or loss to the gold leaf.
