Herend has a rich history spanning many years, crossing many oceans and captivating many generations enjoys worldwide appreciation as the pinnacle of supreme porcelain, also known as “white gold”.

Today it is the largest porcelain manufacture in Europe; Herend was founded in 1826 in the small village of Herend, Hungary, to produce ceramics. In 1839 a big turning point occurred when Mor Fischer became the new owner of the manufactory. Taking Herend in a completely new direction, the visionary Fischer carved out the unique niche of producing spare parts for European royal families to complement their precious porcelain models from Germany and the Far East.

Fischer designed a series of royal successes that quickly put Herend on course and led to the next phase of Herend’s growth, when the artists in the manufactory began designing their own tableware models. Queen Victoria’s purchase of a large set for Windsor Castle in 1851 was a milestone, laying the foundations for the aristocracy across Europe to reclaim Herend on their estates.

In the 1870s Herend added meticulously crafted figurines to his creations. Popular figurines were at the centre of the scene until the demand for Herend’s animal figurines gradually grew in the 1830s.

Today, Herend is sold in selected and refined retail shops around the world; these are the only authorised sources of authentic Herend porcelain. The only way to be sure that your purchase is authentic is to shop at an authorised Herend retailer.
