Easter Table Ideas with Herend Bunnies & Easter Brunch

Easter falls on a different Sunday each spring, and for many families it means church in the morning, an egg hunt for the children and a long brunch or lunch with everyone at the table. It is also the season of the bunny – and no one makes bunnies quite like Herend.

Here are our Easter table ideas: Herend bunnies and chicks to set the scene, egg cups for Easter brunch, and small Easter gifts for children and grandchildren. Everything is gathered in our Easter table and gifts collection.

Herend Bunnies for the Easter Table

Herend figurines are shaped and painted entirely by hand in Herend, Hungary, and finished with 24k gold accents. A few bunnies scattered down the table – between the candlesticks, beside the place cards – are all the decoration an Easter table needs. See all Herend bunnies.

Herend Lamb with Bell Figurine

A spring lamb with a bell, 3¼ in long, hand-painted with 24k gold accents.

Place Cards and Little Dishes

Herend Egg Place Card Holder

A tiny hand-painted porcelain egg, 1¼ in tall, that holds a name card at each place. Choose one color for everyone, or a different color for each guest.

Herend Chinese Bouquet Green Egg Bonbon with Bunny

An egg-shaped candy dish with a bunny on the lid, 3 in tall – for a few chocolate eggs at each end of the table. Also in Queen Victoria Green.

Herend Bunny Box

A 2½ in hand-painted porcelain box with a bunny – a sweet keepsake for a child's dresser.

Easter Brunch: Egg Cups

Easter brunch is the one meal of the year that practically requires an egg cup. See all egg cups.

Gien Set of 2 Egg Cups – Oiseau Bleu Fruits

French faience by the designer Isabelle de Borchgrave, whose singing bird sits on its branches with fruits on a geometric ground. Each cup is 2¾ in tall.

Match Pewter Pedestal Egg Cup

Pewter cast and finished by hand in northern Italy, beautifully boxed. Also see the footed egg cup and the low egg cup.

Decorative Eggs

Gien Egg on Stand – Pivoines

A 5 in faience egg on its own stand, which opens as a box. Peonies are a Gien signature, and Pivoines is the pattern most identified with the house. Also in Pivoines Bleues (the peony bouquet in blue) and Vincennes Gold.

Easter Gifts for Children

Michael Aram's bunny pieces are handcrafted in his workshops and beautifully boxed – keepsakes that last long after the chocolate is gone. More in our new baby gifts.

Easter Table Ideas

Use pastel linens. A pale green, pink or blue tablecloth picks up Herend's fishnet colors.
Make a centerpiece of eggs. Fill a low bowl with dyed eggs, moss and a few Herend bunnies.
Put a place card egg at every seat. Guests can take them home as a keepsake.
Plan an egg hunt. Hide a small porcelain bunny among the eggs as the "golden egg" prize.
