Herend Porcelain
Herend Porcelain has epitomised fine porcelain craftsmanship for nearly two centuries. Its signature ‘Fishnet’ design, inspired by the scales of a Chinese porcelain plate observed by a Herend designer in 1858, was first applied to a cockerel figurine. This delicate motif, evoking feather patterns, sparked a decorative tradition now central to Herend’s artistic legacy.
Available in a spectrum of colours, Herend’s hand-crafted, hand-painted animal figurines are created using labour-intensive methods that ensure each piece is a unique work of art.
We offer one of the UK’s most extensive online selections of Herend porcelain, with each item individually photographed and ready for delivery within 1–3 working days. Use our FILTER BY button to refine your search by animal, colour or price range.

Founded in the heart of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Herend initially crafted fine porcelain for European royalty. Today, these intricate, hand-painted figurines continue to be produced using labour-intensive, traditional methods that transform each piece into a work of art.
