Al Mazroui to Bring the Crème de la Crème of Porcelain to the UAE

Apr 2019 | Al Mazroui
A poem from the Tang dynasty describes a service of porcelain teacups for the emperor as “bright moons cunningly carved and dyed with spring water.”
 
Marco Polo brought porcelain to Europe, from China, in the fourteenth century. He called it porcellana. It is a nickname in Italian for the white and shiny cowry shell porcelain resembles. Indeed, there is no other clay that possesses the same luminosity and unbelievable strength.
 
The porcelain of the royals
 
The Herend brand is synonymous with perfection in high-quality porcelain. For close to 200 years, the brand has impressed the world with its handmade and hand-painted porcelain creations.
Founded in Hungary, in 1826, Herend Porcelain Manufactory has grown to become the largest producer of handmade porcelain in the world. Each piece’s signature patterns and attention to detail set Herend apart and have made its longstanding line of creations coveted for decades. With thousands of shapes in more than 5,000 different patterns, the combinations are unlimited. The brand offers platters, coffee and tea services, trays, napkin rings and more.
 
The Herend products have been owned by more than 25 royal families worldwide, such as the Bristish royal family, the emperor of Japan or the sultan of Oman. 
 
A first Herend boutique for the Middle East

Currently Herend's products are exported to over 60 countries. The Al Mazroui Group has reached out to partner with Herend Porcelain Manufactory to cater to the demand for premium porcelain tableware and home décor products in the UAE and the region. Al Mazroui is planning on opening the first boutique in the region. It will be the perfect place to find an ample selection of porcelain pieces and sets. Herend’s hand-painted porcelain, whether a small figurine, a piece of giftware or a dinner service for 20, is a beautiful work of art.
 
As any experienced hostess knows, table settings are as important as taste when serving afternoon tea. Serving your guests with a Herend Porcelain tea set will be the perfect way to give your home a royal twist.
