Know before you buy
Each set includes a dinner plate, a dessert plate, a bread and butter plate, a tea cup, and a matching saucer.
Because these pieces feature 24k gold accents, they should be hand-washed with a gentle detergent to preserve the finish. Avoid using the dishwasher or microwave, as high heat and abrasive cycles can damage the delicate hand-painted details.
This pattern bridges the gap between both. While its history with royal houses lends it a formal pedigree, the playful motifs of radishes and mushrooms allow for a more whimsical, creative table setting that works beautifully for both special occasions and elevated daily dining.
No, this collection is not lead-free. As with many traditional fine porcelain patterns featuring intricate, hand-painted metallic glazes, it is intended for decorative and dining use rather than for long-term food storage.
Every piece in the Fruits & Flowers collection is handcrafted in Hungary, maintaining the traditional techniques Herend has used since the 1860s.
