Item under consideration is a Rare, Unique, Vintage, Large, Hand-painted Porcelain CENTERPIECE BOWL in the form of a sea shell, from the Black Dynasty collection , produced during the period 1985 thru 2006 by Herend Guild located in Hungary. The Shell Bowl is decorated in the Siang Noir (SN) decor. Siang Noir being a famous classic Herend chinoiserie Far Eastern pattern developed in the mid 19th century. The dish is massive with a 16 inch diameter and a weight of 6 1//2 pounds. The structure of the bowl is that of a large sea shell design in the form of a wheel containing 17 indented vertical. White columns (spokes) separated by 18 raised vertical black columns accompanied by a scalloped rim. The decorative scheme for the recessed columns is a white background with white, pink, and yellow florals connected by light green vines and buds (see photos). The raised 18 columns have a black background with white, yellow and pink daisies connected by light green vines and buds. There are 3/4 inch wide black bands along the border of the rim of the bowl, one on the inside and one on the outside. Both bands have white, yellow and pink florals with connecting green vines and buds. The very top of the rim has a 1/4 inch wide 24K gold trim. There are 3 scroll shaped, gold trimmed, feet. The 2 back feet are 1 1/2 inch tall x 1 1/4 inch wide. And the front foot is 2 3/4 inch tall x 1 3/8 inch wide. During the 18th century the Austrian- Hungarian Empire became greatly enamored by things Oriental.

In particular, things oriental porcelain. This influence is present in the Black Dynasty wheel design, which consists of the use of Imperial Black and White coloring and is based on the creations of the famous'Japanese Dynasty of Porcelain Producers, the Kakiemons. The pattern was introduced to the Queen of Hungary in early 1850s.

A unique aspect of the saturated tones of the SD decor is that the pattern is applied with enamel colors. Enamel painting is an exacting process, in that, the density of enamel paint requires the application of many more layers than with normal paints, in order to create the rich pigmentation unique to enamel finishes.

It is a balancing act of beauty versus technical constraints. Because if only one of the layers is applied unevenly, it can effect the adherence of the paint to the piece and an overall uneven presentation of the product. This requires Herend to assign only their most skilled, knowledgeable, and technically competent artists to the finishing of these enameled figurines. The sheer attention to detail is very obvious, even to the casual observer. Since 1826, Herend has created timeless designs with unsurpassed craftsmanship and artistry.

These exquisite treasures make lovely collectibles and heirlooms for generations to come. Diameter, widest point- 16 1/16 inch. Weight- 6 pounds, 8 ounces.
