A vintage 4-piece porcelain smoking/desk set by Herend Hungary in the iconic and timeless Queen Victoria pattern. Introduced in 1851 at the Great Exhibition in London, this renowned pattern features meticulously hand-painted colorful butterflies and blooming floral branches, accented by elegant green borders and 24k gold gilding. Good vintage condition: No chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs. The hand-painted colors remain exceptionally bright and vivid. The gilding shows light to moderate wear (rubbing) consistent with age and gentle handling. There is a crack in the glaze on the side of the matchbox, which is almost invisible and was probably caused during manufacture. This crack is only on the surface and does not affect the structure of the porcelain. See the last two photographs. Set includes: 1x Large scalloped ashtray / trinket dish (height: 3,5 cm, diameter: 15 cm) 1x Small matchbox holder / sleeve (height: 4,5 cm, width: 3,5 cm, depth: 2 cm) 1x Small oval cigarette holder / multi-use cup (height: 5,5 cm, width: 5,4 cm, depth 3,2 cm) 1x Large oval cigarette / card holder (height: 4,5 cm, width: 3,5 cm, depth: 2 cm)
