Since 1826, Herend has produced one of the most outstanding and distinctive porcelains in a small village near Budapest, Hungary. Each piece is handpainted by the Herend artists. Obtained by me around 1979, this natural white cat in a sitting position stands 4-1/2" high and has a touch of red for eyes. The underside of base is marked in blue: Handpainted Herend Hungary and #5383 is impressed into base. There are no chips or cracks - MINT
