About this product
An enduring masterpiece of European porcelain, the Rothschild Bird pattern is among the most celebrated designs by Herend. First created in 1860 for the distinguished Rothschild family of Europe, this iconic motif is beloved by collectors for its extraordinary artistry and storytelling.
Each bread and butter plate is meticulously hand-painted in Hungary, featuring one of the twelve charming Rothschild Bird scenes—delicate birds perched among branches, playfully entangled with a pearl necklace. The design recounts a 19th-century legend in which Baroness Rothschild’s lost pearls were discovered by her gardener, found glimmering in a tree where birds had carried them.
Finished with a softly scalloped rim and accented in hand-applied 24k gold, this plate is both whimsical and refined—perfect for layering into an elegant table setting or gifting to a discerning porcelain collector.
