Herend

Bouquet de Tulipe / Printemps

Six-Cigarette Ashtray

Being offered on this auction is decorative oval six-cigarette ashtray made by Herend, Hungary, in ‘Bouquet de Tulipe’ pattern. Collector sources often refer to this pattern as ‘Printemps’ (‘Spring’ in French). The dominant feature of the Bouquet de Tulipe pattern is the bouquet of flowers, composed of a delicately curving striped tulip, red and yellow roses, chrysanthemums, dahlias, bluebells and forget-me-nots, all painted with soft brushstrokes, and thrown into striking relief by a band of bright green leaves. The whole composition suggests a mood of springtime and freshness, further enhanced by the small, scattered flowers on the gilded border. This decoration has remained one of Herend’s most popular designs since the 1930s. Ashtray on this auction has white background and gold band. The backside is marked with standard Herend blue mark used since 1949. Other marking is mold number 7793/BT and number 64 in blue as well as incised ‘Herend’ and 7793.

Ashtray measures about 4 ¼” x 5 ¼”. Condition is immaculate with no cracks or chips found. Colors are bright and vibrant. Gold has no wear. Please take a look at the pictures to find out more about this item.
