Herend Hungary Petit Rose (PR) Pattern Porcelain Plate

This is an exquisite fine porcelain plate manufactured by the renowned Herend Porcelain Manufactory in Hungary. The piece features the classic 'Petit Rose' (PR) pattern, characterized by delicate, hand-painted pink floral sprigs and winding leafy vines. The design is executed on a brilliant white hard-paste porcelain body, known for its translucency and durability. The plate features a scalloped edge highlighted by a fine 24-karat gold-gilded rim, a hallmark of Herend's high-end craftsmanship. The decoration includes a dense border of floral motifs with scattered sprigs in the central well and a thin pink circular accent line separating the rim from the basin. The quality of the hand-painting is exceptional, showing the subtle variations in shading that indicate professional artisan work. Stylistically, this pattern reflects a Romantic/Neoclassical influence popular in European fine china since the late 19th and 20th centuries. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing. The gilding remains intact along the scalloped perimeter, suggesting minimal use or careful curation. As a Herend piece, it would typically bear the blue underglaze shield mark and pattern codes on the underside. This specific pattern is highly collectible and represents the luxury tabletop traditions of Austro-Hungarian heritage.
