Introduction

With its rich green, beautifully glazed finish and detailed textured surface this eye-catching range is sure to be the talking point around your table. Part of the kitchenware range designed by renowned Portuguese artist, Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro, the cabbage is a symbol of rural life as it is found in every kitchen garden across Portugal and is a national dish in the form of Caldo Verde, a cabbage soup.

Bordallo Pinheiro was a famous cartoonist, humorist, illustrator and social and political commentator of his day. In 1885 he founded a ceramic factory where he created many of the pottery designers. The factory is still in business and to this day imitations of this range can be found across the world bearing testimony to his enduring popularity.
