Know before you buy
While the butterfly is crafted from durable fine porcelain, it is a delicate sculptural element. We recommend handling the lid by the base rather than the finial to ensure the longevity of the piece.
The box is best suited for small, lightweight treasures such as rings, earrings, or other delicate trinkets. Due to its size and the openwork lattice design, it is not intended for heavy items or loose contents that could slip through the openings.
The box features a lift-off lid that sits securely on the base. It is designed for easy access rather than a locking mechanism, so it should be placed on a stable, level surface where it won't be bumped.
To preserve the luster of the gold and the hand-painted finish, gently dust the piece with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the delicate gold detailing.
The lattice is a signature of Herend's craftsmanship, serving both as an aesthetic feature and a testament to the skill required to hand-cut the porcelain. It allows for a glimpse of the contents inside, making it an excellent choice for displaying small, curated items.
