Large Herend “Blue Garland” Porcelain Fish Serving Platter with Herend Porcelain Insert/Strainer

This large Herend “blue garland” porcelain fish serving platter with matching Herend porcelain insert or strainer is a fine example of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory that was a supplier to the Hapsburg Dynasty and the aristocracy in Hungary since the mid 1800s.

Herend porcelain won 24 grand and gold prizes in world exhibitions between 1851 and 1937. One of the best known Herend patterns was presented at the London World Exhibition in 1851 and the British Queen Victoria ordered a dinner set for Windsor castle.

An interesting fact is that the company has occasionally produced the trophies given out to the winners of the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix.  One such trophy, the first-place trophy won by Max Verstappen in 2023, was damaged when the 2nd place finisher accidentally slammed a bottle of Ferrari Trento sparkling wine onto the rostrum during the podium celebration, knocking it off in the process!
