Herend Porcelain Manufactory is again the official prize provider of Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix in its anniversary year

2026. July 8.

Celebrating its 200th anniversary, Herend Porcelain Manufactory once again produced the trophies to be presented at the Hungaroring in 2026 as the official prize provider of the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Thus, not only the performance of the world’s best drivers is recognized on the podium of the 41st Hungarian Grand Prix, but a two-hundred-year-old Hungarian success story also gets a worthy place at the pinnacle of motorsport.

 

The anniversary of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory is more than an anniversary: it is a celebration of two centuries of creative work, tradition, innovation and world-class craftsmanship. The name of the Manufactory, founded in 1826, is now synonymous with exceptional quality, handmade luxury porcelain and the international recognition of Hungarian cultural heritage. Formula 1 embodies the same values in the world of sports: continuous development, uncompromising precision, top performance and competition with the best in the world. The meeting of these two iconic brands is therefore not just a collaboration, but a demonstration of shared values on the international stage.

 

The anniversary year Herend trophies are symbols of this togetherness. In the hands of the winners, the pinnacle of modern technology and speed appears at the same time, as well as the timeless value of craftsmanship preserved with unwavering dedication for two hundred years. Formula 1 shapes the future, and the Herend Porcelain Manufactory proves that tradition and innovation reinforce each other and create lasting value.

 

The creation of this year's trophies is the result of a process that lasted almost a year, requiring outstanding expertise and artistic precision. From the design, shaping and firing to the final brushstroke of hand painting, every phase of the work was made using the traditional artisan technology of the Herend Porcelain Manufactory. Each piece is a unique work of art that represents Hungary in a worthy way at one of the world’s largest media-watched sporting events.

 

The trophies are decorated with Herend's iconic Hungarian gold ornamentation. The decoration, drawn with black contours and inspired by the motifs of Hungarian folk art, is complemented by gold, platinum and bronze metallic colours, which emphasize the rank of the trophies in a worthy way. The drivers’ victory trophy is decorated with 18-carat gold. The constructors’ openwork ornamental plate reflects the outstanding expertise and artistic sensitivity of the Herend masters.
