Herend Hungary Handpainted Chinese Bouquet, Apponyi yellow, 1605 AJ Individual 12 Oz Teapot.

Apponyi has been painted since the early 1930s, has its roots in the Indan Basket Herend design.

The yellow is hard to find!

The Teapot measures about 4" to the top of the Rose Finial and appx 6 1/2" handle to spout.

It is beautiful and was in excellent condition however in moving, the handle was damaged. I did not even notice it until I started taking photos from all angles.

Please see photos of the handle!

Chinese Bouquet / Apponyi

The original "Indian Flowers / Flowers of the Indies" pattern was exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1868, where it caught the eye of the then Emperor Napoleon III, Queen Eugenie.

It is said that Eugenie purchased the "Indian Flowers" dinner set for a banquet held at the Palais Elysee at the Exposition, and entertained Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria.

Later, Count Apponyi of Hungary ordered a new dinner set for a sudden guest of honor. The order was urgent, so Herend created a simplified version of the "Indian Flowers" pattern by rearranging parts of it, and the "Apponyi" pattern was born.

The design, which features a single oriental flower in the motif of the original "Indian Flowers" enlarged and centered, is available in a variety of colors, including green, pink, black, blue, turquoise, orange, and many more.

This pattern remains one of Herend's most popular patterns to this day and is loved around the world.
