Herend Porcelain Tea Set, Queen Viktoria Pattern, 15 Pieces.

Herend porcelain tea service, Queen Viktoria pattern, 15 pieces. The Hungarian Herend manufacturer owes its fame to the particular beauty and uniqueness of its many hand-decorated services. Fischer Mor's "Victory" decoration made the manufacturer famous throughout the world in the early 1850s. Yellow, red, blue, and purple roses, butterflies, and other small insects make up this oriental-inspired but Hungarian-style decoration, which was a huge success at the 1851 London World's Fair. In addition to the gold medal awarded by the jury, the recognition is also due to the fact that Queen Victoria of England herself, after whom the service is named, commissioned the "Butterfly" service for Windsor Castle. It consists of 6 teacup pairs, a teapot, a sugar bowl, and a water or milk jug. Dimensions: Cups: 8.5 cm by 5.5 cm. Saucer: diameter: 14 cm Teapot: 15 cm by 12.5 cm. Sugar bowl: 11 cm by 7 cm. Water jug: 15 cm by 7 cm. Very good condition. A superb model, chic and colorful. Note: a dinner service and a coffee service of the same model are for sale in other ads.
