Germany, Third Reich. A Rare Herend Porcelain Bowl Presented to AH by Miklós Horthy

(Porzellan-Schüssel). A rare and extremely well-preserved bowl presented to AH by Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy, constructed of glazed white porcelain, the obverse featuring an outer rim finished in a stylized basket weave style, decorated with hand-painted and multi-coloured branches bearing flowers and leaves, interspersed with finely-detailed butterflies, with the rim completing with gilded and green-painted arabesque and leaf designs, the base bearing a mark of “HEREND UNGARN HANDGEMALT” indicating production at the famous Herend Porcelain Manufactory in eponymous Hungarian town, topped by the coat of arms of the Horthy family and above a Hoheitsadler, measuring 255 mm in diameter, an exceptionally rare example retrieved from a set gifted to the Führer, demonstrating no chips or cracks, in extremely fine condition.

Footnote: The example offered was retrieved from the Berghof, presumably by a member of the US 3rd Infantry Division, where it resided as part of a documented Herend Porcelain tableware set gifted to AH by Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy in the late 1930s.
