Herend Fish Scale Serving Pieces

Yes, while these pieces are highly decorative, they are crafted from durable white porcelain designed for both display and practical serving. We recommend hand-washing to preserve the hand-painted details and gold accents over time.

Due to the delicate hand-painted designs and the inclusion of gold accents, these pieces are not microwave-safe and should not be placed in the dishwasher. Hand-washing with a mild detergent is the best way to maintain their finish.

The fish scale pattern, or 'Fishnet' design, is one of Herend’s most iconic motifs. It was originally inspired by the scales of a fish seen by a Herend artisan in the 19th century and has since become a hallmark of the brand's hand-painted artistry.

The rose-shaped handle is primarily a decorative detail that adds a sculptural element to the piece. While it is functional, it is designed more for aesthetic elegance than for heavy-duty lifting, so it is best handled with care.

Because each piece is individually hand-painted by master artisans, there may be very slight variations in the color intensity or brushwork. This is a hallmark of authentic hand-crafted porcelain and ensures that every item is unique.
