  • Problem Herend Trademarks
"Problem" Herend Trademarks
This Mark has two paralell lines grinded across the trademark.
It represents a "Factory Second".
Often times these lines are hard to see without magnification.
Value of seconds are lot less than first class items.

This mark used for a short time to represent "Second Class"
The roman Number II. (2) makes this mark a second.
Same mark with a date instead of the Roman Number II. (2) used as a first class mark, mostly in the 1950's.

 


This mark is called on Hungary as "Student Mark " .
It represent third class items painted by student painters.
Offten times it is misrepresented as an "antique" mark.
Drastic reduction in value.

Older Herend marked with "Tertia" regardless of the other trademark,
shows that the item is third class.
On some items only "Tertia" marked.
Widely misrepresented as an "Artist Signature".

If only an impressed mark is present without the applied (painted or stamped) trade mark,
as a general rule the item is not first quality.The exception to that are the early Herend
from the 19th. century, when for some time only impressed marks used.
On earlier Herend the impressed letters in most cases are in a style similar to "Times New Roman".
From ca. 1915 most impression is in a plain style like "Geneva" or "Helvetica".

Most all white items without the implied (blue) trademark are fourth class products.
(even if "HEREND" is impressed).
