Elegant porcelain ashtray by Herend, hand-painted with a refined depiction of two birds on a branch, surrounded by colourful butterflies. The object is made of white porcelain with fine gold accents along the edges, which is characteristic of the luxurious and refined style of the Hungarian porcelain factory Herend.
The decoration depicts a nature scene with birds and butterflies in soft colours, with a delicate painting style typical of Herend. Each detail is applied by hand, which means that each piece may show subtle variations. The flower-shaped rim with multiple cigarette rests gives the object a decorative and sculptural appearance.
Herend was founded in 1826 in Hungary and is globally renowned for its hand-painted porcelain, often produced for aristocratic and royal houses. Today, Herend objects are collected for their craftsmanship, refined decoration, and timeless elegance.
Although originally designed as an ashtray, this type of object is also often used today as a decorative dish or collector's item.
