Cabbage Dessert Plate Green

19th century Portuguese designer Bordallo Pinheiro founded his own earthenware company in 1884, which still creates collections based on original designs under the guiding values and attention to detail of Vista Alegre. The charming Cabbage collection beautifully captures the timeless Pinheiro aesthetic in handcrafted, richly detailed earthenware bringing nature, joy, and humor to your table. Cabbage, in its rough and flat form, could be used as a metaphor for Portugal’s rustic ways, which Bordallo had so many times caricatured. This was a clever way to honour it, placing it on the bourgeois’ tables, where other way it had not been invited. Handmade and decorated in Portugal. 7 1/2" diam., 1" high.
