Vintage Herend Hungary Handpainted Openwork Basketweave Pierced Porcelain Vase

Description

This exquisite, vintage Herend Hungary fine porcelain openwork vase is a masterclass in delicate craftsmanship, featuring the highly sought-after "Mille Fleurs" (Thousand Flowers) hand-painted floral pattern. The vessel is designed with a flared, scalloped rim heavily accented in brilliant gold gilt, transitioning down into a magnificent double-walled body. The upper register features an intricate, hand-pierced lattice or reticulated basketweave openwork border, meticulously highlighted with tiny gold dots and pink accent bows. The main body showcases a vibrant, dense cluster of hand-painted multi-colored blossoms—including yellow, blue, violet, and orange flowers—cradled by lush green foliage that is beautifully sculpted into a dimensional, open-air relief design. This elegant cabinet vase merges classic Hungarian porcelain artistry with high-end structural complexity, making it a stellar centerpiece for any serious Herend or fine porcelain collector.

The base of this authentic Herend Hungary reticulated porcelain vase provides the clear factory documentation needed to confirm its exact model and pattern variation. Prominently stamped in blue underglaze is the traditional Herend factory shield crest with crossed paint brushes, sitting directly above the "HANDPAINTED" designation. Hand-painted in blue script is the official shape and form number 6420, accompanied by the pattern code letter C denoting its "Mille Fleurs" (Thousand Flowers) multi-colored botanical design. Near the outer foot rim, the base displays a handwritten painter’s tally mark number 59 in blue glaze, which tracks the specific artisan who decorated the intricate dimensional relief foliage. This specific model 6420/C double-wall pierced cabinet vase stands approximately 4.75 inches tall and is highly coveted.
