The Fleuraison Collection with its ROTHSCHILD pattern is a valuable representation of Herend's masterful craftsmanship. The detailed execution of the objects and the harmonious color scheme hark back to the archetypes of the 18th century. Originals from the Fleuraison Collection are considered high-prestige pieces in porcelain collections to this day, and collectors command very high prices for them at auction.
Each bravura piece requires the greatest professional skills of porcelain-making experts such as modellers, porcelain makers, and painters.
Modellers create three-dimensional, realistic applications of flowers, leaves, and branches one by one and quickly arrange them on the objects before drying. Painting these ornaments requires special attention from the painters due to the exquisitely detailed decoration of the delicate leaves.
A limited edition of 250 pieces was produced. A museum-quality, hand-crafted work of art requiring great care and effort.
The Rothschild pattern was designed in 1860 at the special request of the Rothschild family. Over the years, it has been produced in a variety of shapes and colors, acquiring a sophisticated splendor and richness. Ornate versions with borders add a distinct charm to the pattern, while simple bird-themed designs are also available. The Rothschild pattern is associated with a mysterious story. Rumor has it that one summer day, a housewife's necklace disappeared. After a long and fruitless search, the lost necklace was found amidst the autumnal deciduous trees, carried by a bird and hanging on a tree branch in front of the window.
Herend not only produces porcelain, but also inherits tradition through its ancient mastery methods. In the production process, where technology is used only in kiln heating systems, the lead and raw material mixtures used in the porcelain's special structure are also of great importance. This mixture ensures the porcelain's unique whiteness, transparency, and clarity. More than 2,000 of Herend's painters meticulously craft the figures under sunlight. Those who achieve the title of "Chief Painter" are granted the honor of signing their works. Furthermore, Herend offers a custom replacement of the original parts for any damage or loss incurred during the production process. Its nature-inspired decorations are striking: distinctive birds, deeply meaningful flowers (lotus, peonies, Indian flowers), plants, butterflies, waterfalls, shepherds, and Chinese motifs bring a unique elegance to your table. Prices for Herend porcelain vary depending on the complexity and intensity of the decorations.
