Herend Canada

"Beauty will save the world" (Dostoevsky)

Take a small town in a small country. The town itself is to be found near Balaton, the biggest lake in that same country. The name of this town is Herend. All over the world, it is a name associated with a porcelain manufactory, a business employing approximately 1000 people today. Herend is a place where beauty is born and becomes eternal value.

It is a porcelain manufactory with 183 years of history, one that has survived cataclysms and world economic crises through the force of beauty. Here everything that unfolds in a victorious trajectory of that beauty reveals the story of how the mixed, unprocessed raw materials that make up porcelain finally become the pinnacle of craftsmanship through the inimitable expertise of manual work. Here beauty goes hand in hand with happiness. Various items of craftsmanship that the manufactory has produced over the centuries have enjoyed popularity among and have also been a source of happiness for sovereigns, aristocrats, other celebrities and those with an eye for beauty. Herend Porcelain is a product to be found in almost every country around the world. The name itself is a synonym of resplendent visual perfection. Beauty, we know, is often engaged in an uphill battle with time, its archrival. The outcome of that battle is a loss of some of this beauty. Seldom is beauty destined for eternity. Herend Porcelain is one of the few exceptions. It has resisted the destructive force of time, it has successfully established itself as a standard-bearer of unfading values, and is able to protect itself against various styles that come and go.
