About the Collection
Lovers of exquisite Herend Porcelain Figurines and Dinnerware will delight at the sight of the pieces in this collection at Distinctive Decor. Herend figurines are world-renowned for their signature fishnet design. They have been an intricate part of the lives of kings, queens and princesses. Even Queen Victoria dined on Herend china and Princess Diana was said to always be absolutely thrilled to find a Herend piece in her holiday stocking.
Founded in 1826, Herend originally produced pottery. However, in 1839, new owner Mor Fischer added in dinnerware aimed at European royal families. In 1851, England's Queen Victoria purchased a large set for Windsor Castle. The set she ordered featured a butterfly and floral pattern. Fischer named the pattern after the queen.
