Like a pretty silk ribbon used to tie a bridal bouquet the garland usually plays a supporting role by embellishing the peony motif of the Chinese Bouquet pattern. Here it becomes the principal source of beauty by draping the edges of its porcelain host with stylized vines and gold rosettes. The smooth white porcelain body and hand painted designs invoke the passion of great sculptors and master painters in every piece manufactured for over 180 years by the Herend Porcelain Manufactory of Hungary.
