Herend - Centrepiece - Bone china

What you’re looking at here is a Herend Apponyi Purple Oval Reticulated Basket, which is a porcelain centerpiece bowl made around 1970. It’s about 2.5 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 8 inches long—just the right size for a fruit bowl or as a decorative centerpiece on a table. The openwork (or “reticulated”) sides are especially eye-catching, with delicate loops and hand-painted purple flower motifs in the middle, all finished off with subtle gold accents. This particular piece is in near mint condition, so it’s been well cared for across more than five decades. Given that it dates back to around 1970, it’s now over 50 years old, making it genuinely vintage and not something you see every day in regular stores.
