Portugal's ceramics company Bordallo Pinheiro has a long and exciting history that began with the artist and 19th century political disruptor, Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro. A major influencer back then.
In 1884, he began a ceramics production in Caldas and the award winning and much copied home wares of Bordallo Pinheiro were born.
At Bordallo Pinheiro, the Leaf collections are more verdant than those in a hot house including sublime banana leaves. You don’t have to fill these leaf-themed dishes with vegetables and salads but it certainly adds a nourishing appeal.
