Herend Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1826 in the village of Herend in Hungary, today is Europe’s largest porcelain manufactory. The ETON model is part of the prestigious Chinoiserie tradition, one of the most refined motifs of the Hungarian house, inspired by Oriental decorations and export designs of the 17th–18th centuries.

Herend has been an official supplier to the greatest European dynasties, and not only. This coffee service, where the ETON decor is paired with the OTP monogram, testifies to that historic artisanal continuity of high quality that has made the house an official supplier to even the most important Hungarian state institutions, such as OTP Bank, where timeless luxury meets the country’s economic and institutional history—an example of “Corporate Porcelain” excellence.

(The presence of variants in the OTP monogram on the cups of this corporate coffee service could suggest the hypothesis of a team consisting of: Director 1 OTP gold, close collaborators 5 OTP Green, and 6 OTP polychrome collaborators various.)
