Exclusive Pair of Herend Cups with Saucer – Iconic Decors "Indian Basket Purple" and "Petites Roses" – Hungary 1960s/1970s These splendid pieces in fine multicolored porcelain, hand-painted, come from the renowned Hungarian manufactory Herend, founded in 1826. The lot offers two elegant cups with their respective saucers, expression of two of the brand’s most historic, sought-after, and iconic collections: 1. Cup and Saucer – Decor: "Indian Basket Purple" (also known as Purple/Lilac Indian Basket) Characteristics: The model features a magnificent and lively floral decor with oriental inspiration, characterized by a rich composition of stylized flowers and foliage blooming from a distinctive woven basket. Everything is masterfully hand-painted in a bright and elegant monochrome purple/magenta tone. The edge of the saucer and cup is adorned with a refined continuous floral garland motif. History: Originally created in the 19th century, this decor draws strong inspiration from classic and precious oriental motifs imported into Europe by the ships of the East India Company. This exotic and elegant motif became internationally famous when chosen and widely admired by Empress Eugénie of France, wife of Napoleon III, crowning it as one of the undeniable masterpieces of the manufactory. 2. Cup and Saucer – Decor: "Petites Roses" (also indicated by the code PR) Characteristics: The model features a romantic and delicate floral motif, dominated by a charming pink rosebud painted with great realism at the center of the composition. On the white porcelain surface are also scattered, with measured elegance, small rosebuds and tender green leaves painted by hand. History: Created originally during the Biedermeier era, a period in which romantic taste and the love of nature and botanical details were prevalent at European courts, this decor is a refined tribute to classic Viennese naturalistic painting. Today it represents one of the most intimate, classic, and beloved floral patterns of the Hungarian manufactory. Technical Details and Conditions: Both models feature refined, gilded edges and hand-painted 24-carat gold. The two sets are distinguished by the characteristic raised texture of white porcelain, known as the "Osier" working technique, which faithfully reproduces the wicker weave along the rims with extraordinary elegance. The pieces are in excellent conservative condition, first-choice and free of visible defects. On the base of each item is regularly stamped the blue factory mark bearing the shield, the inscription "HEREND HUNGARY", "HANDPAINTED", accompanied by the model number and the deco code (respectively "P" for Indian Basket Purple and "PR" for Petites Roses). Depending on the mark shown, production is datable to the vintage period of the 1960s/1970s. Packaging and Shipping: We guarantee professional, careful, and generously sized packaging, made with high-quality protective materials to preserve the porcelain’s total integrity during transport. Prompt, trackable shipping via express courier.
