Herend China Rothschild Bird Green Border Triangle Dish 9.5"L
Trimmed in 24k gold
9 1/2 inches long

Herend is a sound investment in hand painted art, but not the sort to admire from afar. Its durable hard paste porcelain body and dishwasher-safe attribute make it a breeze to enjoy. Each piece is unique and motifs vary. Rothschild Bird Green Border is a lush design featuring the highly recognizable bird motif framed by tiny individually hand painted rich green fish scales outlined in 24-karat gold.

Many connoisseurs consider this pattern, first created in 1860 for the Rothschild family of Europe, to be the epitome of hand painting on porcelain. Twelve different motifs portray a 19th century tale about Baroness Rothschild, who lost her pearl necklace in the garden of her Vienna residence. Several days later it was found by her gardener, who saw birds playing with it in a tree.
