Description
Queen Victoria / Victoria avec Bord en OrThis series is in the Chinese taste (chinoiserie) with butterflies and peony flowers.
The pattern for this series, with its spectacular hand-painted blurred color effects, was created around 1848.
The name "Victoria" was given to this pattern because Queen Victoria liked it so much that she purchased a dinner set from the pattern at the world's first World's Fair held in London in 1851. The dinner set was brought to Windsor Castle, where it was much used, and the British aristocracy followed the Queen's example and asked Herend for the same set.
The 130 different motifs of flowers, leaves, butterflies, and other motifs are endlessly varied, and they add to the gorgeousness of the dinnerware.
Chinoiserie
A style of art popular in Europe from the late 17th to the early 19th century. Based on Chinese taste and fused with the Rococo style, it was used in architecture, furniture, and decoration, and was especially prevalent in ceramics.
Herend's "chinoiserie" patterns are modeled after Chinese and Japanese porcelain, and are woven with Herend's rich sense of playfulness to create a unique charm.
Herend
In 1826, Herend opened a kiln on the western edge of Hungary, near the border with Austria. This small pottery kiln was purchased by Mor Fischer in 1839, and he began to focus on the production of tableware.
In 1851, Queen Victoria purchased a set of tableware for Windsor Castle, and Herend became one of the most famous kilns in Europe.
In 1866, when Franz Joseph, then Emperor of Austria, became Emperor of Hungary, Herend tableware graced the banquets at his court. Under the protection of the Habsburgs, who were known as the noblest of the nobility, Herend tableware attracted the royalty and aristocracy of Vienna and other European countries. Herend developed together with the Austrian court, which was prosperous at the time.
Today, Herend continues to uphold the tradition of handmade work, from modeling to painting, while creating new motifs one after another.The combination of traditioni and nnovation is a very important element of Herend Porcelain.
