Herend – Antique Victoria Pattern Deep Plate – Hand Painted Porcelain – c. 1930 Beautiful antique Herend Victoria pattern deep plate, richly decorated with numerous colorful butterflies and small floral motifs. Each Herend piece is entirely hand-painted, factory marked and numbered, making it a true work of applied art and a highly collectible example of Hungarian porcelain craftsmanship. The Victoria pattern is one of the oldest and most celebrated designs of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory. Inspired by Far Eastern decorative traditions, the pattern features a vibrant composition of flowering branches and butterflies in a wide range of lively colors. The design achieved international fame at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, where it was awarded the Grand Prize, and its prestige was further enhanced when Queen Victoria herself ordered a complete dinner service in this pattern for her palace. Since then, the Victoria décor has remained one of Herend’s most iconic and enduring designs.
