What this guide covers
The guide is for people who collect Herend figurines or are about to start. It shows which Herend animal figurine to start with, how to read the marks on the base of a piece, where Herend comes from in our history timeline, and how to care for a figurine and replace a broken one. Every piece shown is handmade in Herend, Hungary. For plates and cups, see Herend dinnerware at Paris Tableware.
How we write and check these pages

- Prices and stock change often, so they appear only on paristableware.com. Each guide links to the matching store page.
- We review every page each season, including its links to the store.
- If you spot a mistake, email info@paristableware.com. We will correct the page and update its date.
