When hearing the name "Herend", people with a sense of appreciation for beautiful things instantly think of quality hand-made porcelain, and have done so for the past 180 years. Collectors and admirers of Herend items come from the highest echelons of society and have included many monarchs, heads of state, prominent clients, bankers and business leaders. The initially small scale manufactory, only having a couple of employees, has become the largest porcelain making company that produces hand crafted china in the world today.

The product range of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory Ltd. is beyond comparison: Over 15 000 different shapes and more than 4 000 different patterns provide unrivalled opportunities to customers, and anyone interested, as the shapes and decors can be matched freely. Products created in the traditional way-all work phases are done by hand-project a sense of uniqueness and are testaments to an outstanding level of aesthetic quality.

This coming Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix marks the second occasion that the Herend Porcelain Manufactory was asked to create the winning drivers' and best constructors' prizes. Although, at first glance, it is quite difficult to find common ground between speed, horsepower and hand-made china and tradition, but if you find it-you will understand that engineering precision, a unique activity in its field, accuracy, and trying to achieve the impossible are all characteristics of the best and the greatest, be they on the circuit or in the field of craftsmanship.

A success writes an eternal page in the golden book of sports, while the winners receive everlasting value in the form of a timelessly attractive Herend trophy.
