Bordallo Pinheiro is Portugal's celebrated ceramics house, founded in Caldas da Rainha in 1884 and famous for its exuberant earthenware modelled as cabbages, animals and sea creatures. Whimsical yet collectible, its pieces are icons of Portuguese decorative art.
A Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage-leaf plate is a joyful piece of Portuguese craft rather than a mass-produced import.
