The Herend Porcelain Manufactory is a Hungarian manufacturing company, specializing in luxury hand-painted and gilded porcelain. Founded in 1826, it is based in the town of Herend near the city of Veszprém.
In the mid-19th century, it was purveyor to the Habsburg dynasty and aristocratic customers throughout Europe. Many of its classic patterns are still in production. Herend products are made from hard-paste porcelain using a mixture of kaolin, feldspar and quartz.
In 1948 the company was nationalised. After the fall of communism in Hungary it was privatised, and in 2015 75% is owned by the management and workers. The factory exports to over 60 countries of the world, with its main markets being Italy, Germany, Russia, Japan and the United States.
