The PABA – Papillon et Bambou motif reflects Chinese influence. From the very beginning, sets inspired by the East have been produced by Herend. Having revived the production factory, Mór Fischer designed many of these motifs himself; however, rather than directly copying Chinese or Japanese models, he adapted them to his own taste.
Thanks to the boundless imagination of Herend porcelain painters, oriental-style decoration is still being produced today. The PABA set is one of the finest examples of this.
The vibrant butterfly that forms the motif is a detail taken from a pattern that emerged in the 19th century, during Mór Fischer's time. However, the complementary golden branch motif is an original invention of Herend. The branch pattern, painted in shimmering gold and cobalt blue, is a typical ornament of Chinese ink drawings. A new and unique Herend motif, combined with enamel-style painting and a colorful butterfly, reflects the spirit of Chinese porcelain painting.
PABA dinnerware can be combined with CB1 and CN01 charger plates.

Herend is not just a porcelain brand, it is an art passed down from generation to generation. While traditional methods are used in porcelain production, technology is utilized only for heating the kilns. Porcelain's unique whiteness, transparency, and clarity 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 production. Inspired primarily by nature, Herend incorporates distinctive birds, meaningful flowers (such as lotus and peony), butterflies, and Chinese motifs into its decorations. Prices for Herend porcelain vary depending on the intensity and richness of the decorations.
