About the Item

This exquisite set of eight porcelain plates, crafted in the style of Herend circa 1900, embodies the luxurious elegance and meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with European ceramic artistry. Each plate is adorned with vibrant hand-painted floral bouquets, showcasing an array of blooming flora depicted with exceptional detail and vivid coloration. The delicate arrangements are interspersed with whimsical insects, including butterflies and bees, adding a dynamic sense of movement and a touch of playful charm to each composition. The plates feature gracefully scalloped rims embellished with a gleaming gilded edge, enhancing their refined aesthetic. The undulating contours of the rims are further adorned with embossed relief patterns, reflecting the Rococo influence that defines the Herend style, known for its fluidity and ornate detailing. Although inspired by Herend's celebrated porcelain designs, these plates are crafted with an individuality that speaks to the skill of the artisans who meticulously hand-painted each piece. The floral motifs are executed with painterly precision, demonstrating a masterful understanding of botanical subjects, which has long been a hallmark of Herend's design language. The charming insect motifs, delicately rendered among the florals, reflect the 19th-century fascination with the natural world and add a narrative layer to the already ornate compositions. The fine brushwork and subtle shading techniques employed on these plates highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic heritage they represent. Each plate is marked to verso but are of an unidentified maker. 8 plates shown are included + an additional 3 plates not photographed (2 have chips). Measures: 9.5" w
