On the eve of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Royal wedding, Hungary formally presented Royal Garden dinnerware as the country’s official gift to the royal couple. Created by Herend specifically for William and Kate, the design is a modern interpretation of Herend’s classic Queen Victoria pattern, which celebrates its 160th anniversary in 2011.

Queen Victoria was first purchased in 1851 by its namesake upon her seeing it in London at the first World’s Fair. Ever since this iconic event, Herend became world-wide famous among kings, queens, and aristocratic families.

Colours of Royal Garden decor hold a symbolic meaning: Our relation to certain colours changes with our mood. Applied to create the two versions of the Royal Garden decoration, the unique pairing of cool and warm tones on bright white porcelain surface makes these pieces modern, thereby opening new dimensions for the eternal Herend Porcelain decor. The pairing of the two sets of tones is a rare and innovative touch, as cool and warm colours are complementary and their combined use creates a perfect harmony.
