Plate

New for 2012 is a minimalist porcelain service created by the Vienna-based Polka Design Studio for the Herend Porcelain Manufactory.

The new service's design is simplified, balanced, and extremely elegant. Its shapes are inspired by the latest trends in tableware, making it suitable for a variety of functions.

For the first time, Herend uses a substance called blue glaze for decoration; therefore, the porcelain is dishwasher-safe.

These new decors, "Écaillé" and "Carpe", are inspired by Herend's traditional fishnet patterns used in the manufacturer's figures and are characterized by the geometric repetition of precise lines. Polka Design Studio has developed this basic graphic concept into the basis of the fishnet ring pattern and has created practical everyday products with a rich variety of decorative motifs.

Have the freedom to create your own sets, either as sets or individually. Create a table setting that reflects your personal style by combining different patterns and decorations.

Herend is not just a porcelain brand; it is an art passed down from generation to generation. While traditional methods are used in the production of porcelain, technology is used only for heating the kilns. The unique whiteness, transparency, and clarity of porcelain are achieved with a special blend of raw materials. Specially trained painters at Herend paint the figures in daylight. Only those who have received the title of "Chief Painter" are authorized to sign their works. Herend also offers the opportunity to re-order any lost or broken piece of any product you have purchased since its production. Inspired by nature, Herend uses special birds, meaningful flowers (such as lotus and peonies), butterflies, and Chinese patterns in its decorations. Prices of Herend porcelain vary depending on the density and richness of the decoration.

Do not wash in the dishwasher. It is recommended to use a mild dishwashing detergent. Do not use wire or hard scratching sponge.
