The "Apponyi" pattern is a classic, design by Herend Porcelain Manufactory, also known as "Chinese Bouquet".
It's named after Count Albert Apponyi, who commissioned a simplified version of the "Indian Basket" pattern for a large dinner service in the 1930s.
The design features a dominant floral motif with a stylized edge, often gilded with 24 karat gold.
The Herend Porcelain Manufactory is a Hungarian manufacturing company, specializing in luxury hand-painted and gilded porcelain, based in the town of Herend near the city of Veszprém.
Founded in 1826, by Vince Stingl as an earthenware pottery manufacturing factory; Stingl also carried out research experiments on porcelain making.
Stingl ran out of funds and subsequently went bankrupt; his creditor Mór Fischer took control of the factory in 1839. Fischer, an ambitious man with new ideas, started manufacturing artistic porcelain in the same year. At that time it was almost impossible to replace broken pieces and supply old, classical porcelain dinner-sets from the Far East and from Europe; so by 1849 Fischer's was selling his wares to the Hungarian aristocracy.
