Description from the seller
Magnificent porcelain Shepherd figurine, produced by the prestigious Herend manufactory in Hungary. The object is molded and hand-painted by skilled artisans.
Large in size, it measures 29 x 12 x 10 cm.
The Herend manufactory originated from the small workshop created in 1826 by Vince Stingl, in the town of the same name near Veszprém, in Western Hungary.
Herend soon distinguished itself from other factories in the area for the production of Chinese and Japanese porcelain of the 17th century and for porcelain productions following the European classical style of Meissen, Vienna, Sèvres and Capodimonte. From the mid-19th century the manufactory specialized in historicism, reinterpreting and reproducing elements important to the history of craftsmanship. Material experimentation, including glazes and lusters, increased its popularity.
Herend gained global prominence at the London World’s Fair of 1851, when Queen Victoria ordered butterflies and flowers in a typical Chinese style, which later bore her name and are still in production today.
Herend services soon found a place on the tables of a large number of royal families in Europe. Decors named Queen Victoria, Rothschild, Apponyi, Prince of Wales, Liechtenstein testify to this period of royal patronage. The eclecticism of Herend’s production blends international style with Hungarian motifs, between cosmopolitanism and national identity. From 1900 onward, Herend would secure the collaboration of great contemporary artists, from Art Nouveau to the present day.
The worldwide fame of Herend porcelain remains vivid: today its products are sought after and sold in more than 60 countries around the world.
Since 1964 a museum has been opened at the main headquarters, housing extremely important works and showing visitors the elaborate process of creating Herend porcelains.

Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
