Herend Vienna Rose Teapot Retail price: 68,000 yen Approximate dimensions (measured by hand): 14 cm tall, 20 cm wide. This is the larger size and holds a generous amount. The three-dimensional roses are very beautiful. The colors are white with green and pink accents. Following the closure of the old Vienna porcelain factory in 1864, the design was inherited under the command of Emperor Franz Joseph. Empress Elisabeth of the Habsburg family, also known as a woman of unparalleled beauty, was originally a tomboy and loved horseback riding. Disliking the conventional Viennese court, she preferred to stay in Hungary, surrounded by mountains and fields. She loved living in nature and the Gödöllő Palace on the outskirts of Budapest was her favorite place to stay. In such a glamorous life, it goes without saying that Herend's tableware, such as "Vienna Rose," was close at hand. Elisabeth is still deeply admired in Hungary, and one of the bridges spanning the Danube River in Budapest is named after her. The bridge, illuminated every night, was a gift from Japan to Hungary in 2009 to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. This elegant pattern, with a single, graceful rose reflected on white porcelain, was originally a design for the Habsburg family's private use, and was so noble that it did not leave the Habsburg family's gates until the end of the Habsburg Empire in 1918. For those looking for brand tableware, afternoon tea, brand teapots, table coordination, Rococo, Christmas presents, or a reward for yourself.
