Rothschild Garden Multicolor Oval Vegetable Dish 10 In L X 8 In W

Released from the songs of the Rothschild birds, the garden turns in on itself and becomes a place of quiet reflection and beauty. Even the insects have briefly moved on and only softly falling leaves provide the occasional stirring. What remains are the essence of the famous story with the green leaves and the brown of the vine preserving the spirit of Rothschild Bird. Hand painted in Hungary. Now the biggest porcelain manufactory in Europe, Herend was founded in 1826 to produce earthenware in the small Hungarian village for which it was named. At the time, Hungary was flooded with low-cost pottery, but in 1839, Mor Fischer became the Manufactory’s new owner and he decided to focus on producing dinnerware replacement pieces for Europe’s royal families to complement their valuable porcelain patterns from Germany and the Far East. As his client base grew, Fischer commissioned his artists to begin designing dinnerware patterns of their own. Queen Victoria’s 1851 purchase of a large set for Windsor Castle was a milestone, setting the stage for aristocrats throughout Europe to clamor for Herend in their estates. In the 1850s, Herend added meticulously-crafted figurines to its creations. Herend’s trademark fishnet pattern, which is widely recognized and prized as Herend’s signature design, started in 1858 when an artist who was intrigued with a Chinese plate’s fish scale design painted it onto a rooster figurine to imitate feathers.
