Large Dinner Plate Rothschild Bird

Herend, Large Dinner Plate Rothschild Bird.

Diameter - 285 mm (11.22 inch)

The gilt-edged Herend Rothschild porcelain displays twelve different kinds of birds or bird couples with colourful feathers, sitting on tree branches.

Dainty pastel-coloured butterflies and bugs are scattered around the bird compositions at Herend Rothschild decor. The first creator of this composition dreamt up birds in couples or alone, sitting closer or farther away from each other, and a fine, glittering golden chain winding around the tree branches.

You may wonder why and how this piece of jewelry cluded in this naturalistic image. For the sake of completeness, the pattern has a version without the chain.

Legend has it that one day Baroness Rothschild lost her valuable necklace. She charged her maid with the theft. As she was walking in the garden one day she saw songbirds on a tree and near them she saw the lost necklace.
