Bonbonniere, Butterfly Knob PDVICT

In 2011, the Victoria, one of the most renowned patterns of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory Ltd., is celebrating the 160th anniversary of its birth and its first order by Queen Victoria.

On account of this illustrious occasion, the masters at Herend aim to present the vast scope of creative options offered by the pattern. These include a nobly simple, uncluttered version, created using only the garland from the original pattern. The simplicity is essentially a value, giving us a sense of comfort, joy and happiness in the long run. Sometimes the mere thought of simplicity, of plain beauty is enough to bring warmth to our soul. A minuscule motif, lifted from the original pattern where it is nearly unnoticed amidst the rich splendour, is brought into the spotlight and forms a harmonious entity with the bright white porcelain, running around the edges as a border pattern.

It is a prime example of how less can sometimes be more. The use of only a small number of colours is enhanced with the glimmer of gold.

The pattern can be the perfect adornment even on the most contemporary dining tables. Beauty is beautiful in and of itself. Simplicity will never go out of style. These two statements, embodied in this decoration, form the basis of Herend’s message: timeless beauty, eternal value.
