The Rothschild Bird dinner service is a masterpiece of elegance and historical charm, celebrating the iconic and exquisitely detailed hand-painted birds that are emblematic of the Rothschild legacy.
This enchanting set-of-six teacups and saucers showcase brightly feathered songbirds, artistically perched on a stylized branch adorned with a delicate gold chain. This golden chain subtly references a captivating 19th-century tale where Baroness Rothschild's pearl necklace, lost in the garden of her Vienna residence, was later found by her gardener, playfully entwined among birds in a tree.
Each piece, handcrafted and hand-painted in Hungary, features 24k gold accents that enhance its timeless beauty. The vernal design is further enriched with whimsical pastel-colored beetles and butterflies, adding a touch of nature's delicate charm.
This service is sold as a set of six, or can be purchased individually. Please email contact@bonadea.com for more information.

Herend has been creating unique, hand-made and hand-painted pieces of luxury porcelain with unsurpassed craftsmanship and artistry for nearly 200 years.
The Herend manufactory, at the foot of Hungary’s Bakony Hills, was founded in 1826 by Vince Stingl. From 1839 under the direction of Mór Fischer de Farkasházy, Herend produced dinnerware replacement pieces for Europe's Royal families to complement their valuable porcelain patterns from the Far East.
Fischer's innovation and high standards for execution quickly placed Herend on the map, and soon the manufactory's artists began designing dinnerware patterns of their own. Some of these dinner services would go on to be exhibited internationally, including at both the Vienna Exhibition of 1845 and London's Great exhibition of 1851.
Queen Victoria’s 1851 purchase of a large set for Windsor Castle was a milestone, and Herend was quickly required to produce unique designs for aristocrats throughout Europe.
Their best-known patterns are named after some of their most prestigious clients: Queen Victoria, Esterhazy, Batthyani, Rothschild and Apponyi.
Herend’s history of excellence continues today, and their exquisite hand-painted pieces have become heirlooms for generations to come.
