Herend has a storied history of crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Its iconic fishnet pattern, very popular in the U.S., dates back to 1858 when an artist, inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design, painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Each Herend piece, including this charming heart - shaped box with a cat, is meticulously handmade in Hungary. This porcelain beauty stands 2.75 inches high, is hand - made of porcelain, and hand - painted in Hungary.

This Herend heart - shaped box with a cat is a beautiful decorative item. You can use it to store small trinkets like earrings, rings, or tiny keepsakes. To keep it in good condition, handle it gently as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the hand - painted finish. Store it in a safe place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading of the colors.
