Oval Vegetable Serving Bowl, Motif #5

This elegant Herend Rothschild Bird oval vegetable bowl features the beautifully detailed Motif #5, one of the iconic scenes that define this treasured pattern. At the center of the bowl, two finely hand-painted birds perch on a leafy branch above a grassy mound, rendered in warm russet, soft gray, and fresh green hues. The delicate brushwork captures the charm and liveliness of the Rothschild Bird story, inspired by the whimsical 19th-century tale of a lost pearl necklace discovered in a garden by a pair of songbirds.

Surrounding the central vignette, a lively array of butterflies adds color and movement, each one meticulously painted in bright tones of pink, blue, yellow, green, and coral. The bowl’s gently scalloped edge is finished with a hand-applied band of 24-karat gold, adding a refined luminous accent. Herend’s signature basket-weave embossing frames the rim, creating subtle texture and highlighting the craftsmanship of this celebrated porcelain maker.

Generously sized and beautifully decorative, this oval serving bowl is ideal for presenting vegetables, side dishes, or standing as an elegant centerpiece. It offers a timeless blend of artistry, tradition, and the distinctive charm of the Rothschild Bird pattern.
