HEREND — Two pieces on the Ozier basketweave body

1) Fruits Composition (FRH), shape 400 — Oval serving platter with
applied pink ribbon border, 40 cm
2) Mille Fleurs — Lidded sugar bowl with rose finial


1) OVAL SERVING PLATTER — Fruits Composition (FRH), shape 400

An exceptional piece of Herend, and an unusually generous size at
40 cm across.

The ground is Herend's woven basketweave relief in white porcelain,
scattered with hand-painted fruit — plums, apricots, cherries, figs,
walnuts and berries — with butterflies and small insects between
them, each one painted individually by hand at the manufactory in
Herend, Hungary.

The border is the distinctive part: pink ribbon, modelled in relief
and tied in bows at the sides, finished with gilded scrollwork and a
gold rim. Very few Herend forms carry this treatment, and almost none
at this scale.

Length 40 cm · Width 28 cm · Height 3 cm · approx. 1.3 kg
Marked with the Herend blue backstamp and the pattern and shape
numbers 400 FRH.

Condition: unused. This piece was stored for many years and never
brought into service. Light dust from long storage has been cleaned
away. The gilding is bright and unworn, the painting crisp, and there
are no chips, cracks or restoration.


2) LIDDED SUGAR BOWL — Mille Fleurs

A twin-handled sugar bowl in Herend's Mille Fleurs ("thousand
flowers") pattern: delicate scattered flower sprays hand-painted over
the same osier basketweave relief, finished with a gold rim and gilt
handles. The lid is crowned with Herend's hand-modelled pink rosebud
finial.

Width (handle to handle) approx. 13 cm · Height approx. 9 cm
Herend backstamp to the base.

Condition: excellent. No chips and no cracks. The hand-painting and
gilding remain bright.


A NOTE ON THE TWO PATTERNS

These are two Herend pieces on the house's Ozier basketweave body,
not a matched service. The platter carries the fruit-and-butterfly
decoration with the moulded pink ribbon; the sugar bowl carries the
scattered small flowers of Mille Fleurs. They share the same white
basketweave ground, the same palette and the same gilding, and they
sit together naturally on a table — but they are not the same
pattern. Please take this into account when bidding.

Neither piece is accompanied by its original box.


PACKING

Each piece is wrapped individually and packed with a minimum of 8 cm
of cushioning on every side, inside a double-walled box. Shipped
insured and marked fragile.
