Herend - Herend Antique Iris

Shop Giftcollector.com for the entire collection of Herend Antique Iris fine china dinnerware.

Reintroduced in 2007 with a revitalized color palate, the Antique Iris pattern dates from the 1850s. Four different central motifs depict an iris flower, which has been used for centuries as a symbol. In fact, a fleur-de-lis is actually a stylized iris and while many royal houses of Europe have used it, it was the French who popularized it by incorporating it into their flags and crests. For them, the three petals of the iris (or fleur-de-lis) signified faith, wisdom and valor.
