Recently, Hungary presented a bespoke Herend dinner service to Prince William and Kate Middleton on the eve of their wedding. The handcrafted, hand painted porcelain set was designed specifically for the couple in celebration of their union. The dinnerware, Royal Garden, “is a modern interpretation of Herend’s classic Queen Victoria pattern that was first purchased in 1851 by its namesake upon seeing it in London at the first Great Exhibition, later to become known as the World’s Fair.” Now, 160 years later, Herend master artisans created a new version for the royal couple.
The 45-piece Royal Garden set was presented in London by Janos Csak, Hungary’s Ambassador. Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London, Sir David William Brewer, accepted the gift on the royal couple’s behalf, saying Prince William “holds Herend in high regard and appreciates such a uniquely personal gift.”
Today, we are pleased to introduce Royal Garden dinnerware to our discerning clients. Lavender and green dominate three pattern variations: full pattern, just peonies, just butterflies. In addition to a 5-piece place setting, other pieces are available such as the cake plate, ribbon tray, platter, covered sugar, creamer, round bowl, triangle dish, teapot and soup tureen.
You can now share in Herend’s 185-history, which includes 20 royal families from around the world who have also owned Herend masterpieces. Prince Charles and Princess Diana owned Herend dinnerware in the Rothschild and Blue Garland patterns. Diana also received a Herend figurine in her stocking each Christmas.
